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

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. User-defined attributes show by default.
