Adds objects> to the display list so that they will appear on the MGED display. The e command is a synonym for draw.
The -C option provides the user a way to specify a color that overrides all other color specifications including combination colors and region-id-based colors.
The -s option specifies that subtracted and intersected objects should be drawn with shape lines rather than dot-dash lines.
The -A option specifies that the arguments provided to this command are attribute name/value pairs, and only objects having the specified attributes and values are to be displayed. The default (without -o) is that only objects having all the specified attribute name/value pairs will be displayed.
The following examples show the use of the draw command to draw particular objects, to specify color, to draw with shape lines rather than dot-dash lines, and to limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.
Example 1. Draw specific objects in the MGED display.
mged>
draw object1 object2
Object1 and object2 are drawn in the MGED display.
Example 2. Specify the color used to draw the object.
mged>
draw -C 255/255/255 object2
Object2 is drawn in white.
Example 3. Limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.
mged>
draw -A -o Comment {First comment} Comment {Second comment}
Objects having a Comment attribute with a value of either "First comment" or "Second comment" are drawn.
