Command: west

Syntax

west { <window> }

Description

Display an orthographic view of the model looking west.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier. The window must be a graphic window. If omitted, the current graphic window is used.

Switches

• -dbt=<num>
  A transition style to be invoked at the end of the contents repaint. This feature is used only when double buffering is active for the window and facilitates presentation-type effects. See here for a description of all available transition styles. If this switch is omitted, the transition style of the window is used (see window.double_buffering).

• -loc
  Display a west view of the window’s local axes, rather than using the global axes (the default).

• -o1=<num>
  An X ordinate defining the front (hither) viewing plane. If omitted, the right-hand side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -o2=<num>
  An X ordinate defining the rear (yon) viewing plane. If omitted, the left-hand side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -p1=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the front (hither) viewing plane. If omitted, the right-hand side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -p2=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the rear (yon) viewing plane. If omitted, the left-hand side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

Notes

If the window is not currently in use, or is not a graphic window, no action is taken.

Examples

Draw a west view of the current orthogonal box in the current graphic window.

west

Draw a west view of the current orthogonal box in a specified window.

west win2

west -p1=p0, -p2=my_point
