geEnterAddInstProbe

geEnterAddInstProbe( 
[ w_windowId ] 
[ l_lpp ] 
[ lt_probeSpec ] 
[ g_repeatCmd ] 
)
=> o_probe / l_probes

Description

Adds an instance probe to a window. The instance probe is displayed using the attributes of layer-purpose pair l_lpp.

If g_repeatCmd is true, then all instances of the current selection set are probed and highlighted with a different color. If no selection set exists, then multiple post-selection is enabled to probe instances. If however, g_repeatCmd is nil, a single probe is added on an instance.

Arguments

w_windowId	Database ID of the window in which to add the probe. The current window is used if w_windowId is defaulted.
l_lpp	Layer-purpose pair on which to display the probe.
lt_probeSpec	Location in user units to probe at, or a string describing the probed object.
g_repeatCmd	SKILL expression specifying the probe selection mode, single select versus multiple post-select.

Value Returned

o_probe	The probe object created.
l_probes	A list of all the probes in w_windowId.

Examples

Prompts you for a point and creates an instance probe in the current window using layer y0 drawing.

m = geEnterAddInstProbe( hiGetCurrentWindow() list( "y0" "drawing" ) nil t )
