Dataplot Vol 1 Vol 2

GUI

Name:
    SET GUI (SET)
Type:
    Set Subcommand
Purpose:
    Notify Dataplot that the GUI is running.
Description:
    If Dataplot is running in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode, a few operations are not allowed. The most important of these is that reading from the terminal is not allowed (READ with no file name, PAUSE command). This command is issued by the Tcl/Tk scripts (the GUI is currently implemented using the Tcl/TK scripting language) and is not typically entered directly by the Dataplot user.

    If you set this switch to ON while running the command line version, Dataplot will continue to run. However, a few specific commands will not work as expected. If you set this switch to OFF while the GUI is running, the GUI will hang if a READ (with no file name) or PAUSE command is entered.

Syntax:
    SET GUI <ON/OFF> where ON specifies the GUI is running and OFF specifies the GUI is not running.
Examples:
    SET GUI ON
    SET GUI OFF
Default:
    OFF, will automatically be set to ON if the GUI is running.
Synonyms:
    None
Related Commands:
    GUI STATUS VARIABLES = = Status command for the GUI.
    GUI WRITE ALL VARIABLES = Write variables for the GUI.
    GUI SAVE PLOT CONTROL = = Save plot control values for the GUI.
Applications:

Implementation Date:
