xget — get current values of the graphics context

Calling sequence

[x1]=xget(str,[flag])  
xget()

Parameters

`str`	: string.
`flag`	: optional. Set to 1 gives a verbose mode.

Description

This function is used to get values from the graphics context on the topic specified by the string str. When called with no argument, a choice menu is created showing the current values and changes can be performed through toggle buttons.

`number=xget("alufunction")`	: Get the logical function number used for drawing. See `xset`.
`str=xset("auto clear")`	: Get the auto clear status (`"on"` or `"off"`).
`color=xget("background")`	: Get the background color of the current graphics window.
`rect=xget("clipping")`	: Get the clipping zone as a rectangle rect=[x,y,w,h] (Upper-Left point Width Height).
`c=xget("color")`	: Get the default color for filling, line or text drawing functions. `c` is an integer projected in the interval [0,whiteid]. 0 stands for black filling and whiteid for white. The value of whiteid can be obtained with `xget("white")`.
`cmap=xget("colormap")`	: Get the colormap used for the current graphics window as a m x 3 RGB matrix.
`dash=xget("dashes")`	: Get the dash style dash=[dash_number] where dash_number is the id of the dash. This keyword is obsolete, please use `xget("color")` or `xget("line style")` instead.
`font=xget("font")`	: Get font=[fontid,fontsize], the default font and the default size for fonts. size.
`fontsize=xget("font size")`	: Get the default size for fonts size.
`color=xget("foreground")`	: Get the foreground color of the current graphics window.
`str=xget("fpf")`	: Get the floating point format for number display in contour functions. Note that `str` is `""` when default format is used.
`color=xget("hidden3d")`	: Get the color number for hidden faces in plot3d.
`pat=xget("lastpattern")`	: Get the id of the last available pattern or color, with the current colormap of the current window. In fact `pat+1` and `pat+2` are also available and stand respectively for black and white pattern.
`type=xget("line mode")`	: Get the line drawing mode. type=1 is absolute mode and type=0 is relative mode. (Warning: the mode type=0 is has bugs)
`xget("line style")`	: Get the default line style (1: solid, >1 for dashed lines).
`mark=xget("mark")`	: Get the default mark id and the default marks size. `mark=[markid,marksize]`.
`marksize=xget("mark size")`	: Get the default marks size.
`pat=xget("pattern")`	: Get the current pattern or the current color. `pat` is an integer in the range `[1,last]`. When one uses black and white, 0 is used for black filling and `last` for white. The value of `last` can be obtained with `xget("lastpattern")`.
`value=xget("thickness")`	: Get the thickness of lines in pixel (0 and 1 have the same meaning: 1 pixel thick).
`flag=xget("use color")`	: Get the flag 0 (use black and white) or 1 (use colors). See `xset`.
`[x,y]=xget("viewport")`	: Get the current postion of the visible part of graphics in the panner.
`dim=xget("wdim")`	: Get the width and the height of the current graphics window dim=[width,height].
`win=xget("window")`	: Get the current window number `win`.
`pos=xget("wpos");`	: Get the position of the upper left point of the graphics window pos=[x,y].
