NAME

get - Retrieves parameter values of database objects.

On this page

SYNOPSIS

get {object_name_pattern} [param_name]

DESCRIPTION

Low level command for extracting specific parameter information from geometry objects in a database. Similar to "attr get" except that the focus of this command is on geometric parameter values (vertices, for example) instead of attribute metadata. The adjust can be used to change these values.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Elliptical Torus 'r' Parameter Extraction

Use the get command to extract the r parameter value from an elliptical torus.

mged> make eto.s eto
mged> l eto.s
eto.s:  Elliptical Torus (ETO)
      V (0, 0, 0)
      N=(0, 0, 1)
      C=(200, 0, 200) mag=282.843
      r=800
      d=100
mged> get eto.s r
800
