Command Show identifier

Displays a brief listing of the attributes of an object, showing only the attributes most commonly of interest. Compare this to the Profile Command that displays every attribute of an object.

Example

Show Va1

Details

(new to 4.0) The Att_Showable attribute of the Attribute object controls whether the attribute is displayed by Show.

For example, try this:

Create a variable Va1
Press CTRL-' to open the typescript window. Follow along with this typescript dialog:

Untitled> Show Va1
Variable Va1
IsIn: Untitled
Nodelocation: 176,88,1
Nodesize: 48,24

Untitled> show Nodesize
Attribute Nodesize
Att_saveable: 1
Att_showable: 1

Untitled> Att_showable Nodesize:0
Untitled> show Nodesize
Attribute Nodesize
Att_saveable: 1
Att_showable: 0

Untitled> Show Va1
Variable Va1
IsIn: Untitled
Nodelocation: 176,88,1

You can also set this (via typescript) to control whether your own user-defined attributes display by Show. UDAs show by default.
