GiD forum

I downloaded the 7.0 beta as I was interested in the templates. I noticed
that in vrml.bas the following commands were used
LayerColorRGB(1) , LayerColorRGB(2) , LayerColorRGB(3)
these will not work with GiD 6.3.0b ( not a problem ) is there an updated
document showing the complete list of bas commands available for each
version of GiD ?
regards
mark

Download GiD 7.0-Beta2 (or 6.3.0b if you have a permanent password for GiD
6.x, the version 7.x requires a new password)
This version includes some layer commands inside the *.bas file whitout use
tcl.

*LayerNum: returns the layer's number.
*LayerName: returns the layer's name.
*LayerName , *LayerNum must be inside a loop over layers; you cannot use
this commands in a loop over nodes or elements.
*NodesLayerNum: returns the layer's number of a node. Must be used in a loop
over nodes.
*NodesLayerName: returns the layer's name of a node. Must be used in a loop
over nodes.
*ElemsLayerNum: returns the layer's number of a element. Must be used in a
loop over elems.
*ElemsLayerName: returns the layer's name of a element. Must be used in a
loop over elems.

Example 1:
*set Layer example_layer_1 *elems

*loop elems *OnlyInLayer

No:*ElemsNum Name of Layer:*ElemsLayerName No of Layer :*ElemsLayerNum

*end elems




Example 2:
*loop layers

*set Layer *LayerName *elems

*loop elems *OnlyInLayer

No:*ElemsNum Name of Layer:*ElemsLayerName No of Layer :*ElemsLayerNum

*end elems

*end layers


Example 3: count the number of layers
*set var NumberOfLayers=0

*loop layers

*set var=operation(NumberOfLayers+1)

*end layers

In principle, the help of each version would have to reflect
the valid syntax of its *.bas commands, inside the section
Customization-Template file.

It is also possible that some order is documented something later, after a
test phase.
