SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to open a display window. The set of supported window types includes X and ogl. It should be noted that attach no longer releases previously attached display windows (i.e., multiple attaches are supported). To destroy a display window, use the release command.
EXAMPLES
These examples demonstrate the use of the attach command to open ogl and X display windows.
Example 1. Opening an ogl display window
- mged> attach ogl
-
Opens an ogl display window named .dm_ogl0 (assuming this is the first ogl display window opened using the default naming scheme)
- mged> attach ogl
-
Opens an ogl display window named .dm_ogl1.
- mged> attach -n myOgl -W 720 -N 486 ogl
-
Opens a 720 x 486 OpenGL display window named myOgl.
- mged> attach -n myX -d remote_host:0 -i myInitX
-
Open an X display window named myX on remote_host that is initialized by myInit.
myInit might contain user-specified bindings like those found in the default bindings.
- mged> toplevel.t
-
A top-level window named .t was created.
- mged> attach -t 0 -S 800 -n .t.ogl ogl
-
Opens a 800 x 800 OpenGL display window named .t.ogl that is not a top-level window.
- mged> button .t.dismiss -text Dismiss -command "release .t.ogl; destroy .t"
-
Creates a button that dismisses the display manager, etc.
- mged> pack .t.ogl -expand 1 -fill both
