since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>setpoint</B> command forces the reference point for a specific
|
|
window. Each command that executes relative to a window must be able
|
|
to translate from the pointer position to a layout coordinate.
|
|
Commands that are executed from a script or from the command-line
|
|
may not have access to the pointer, but can set the reference point
|
|
with this command so that the effect of the command is predictable. <P>
|
|
|
|
Normally, in interactive this command is not used. However,
|
|
scripts that open more than one window need to specify which one
|
|
is to take the action of the command. In the Tcl/Tk version, this
|
|
can be done by using the <I>tk_path_name</I> command to pass a
|
|
command to a specific window. The non-Tcl/Tk version, and the Tcl/Tk
|
|
version using the "-dnull" option on the command line (i.e., no
|
|
graphics package initialized) must use the <B>setpoint</B> command
|
|
to track windows. Although possible, it is generally a bad idea
|
|
for a script running in batch mode ("-dnull") to create and access
|
|
multiple windows, since the window structures have no useful
|
|
function outside of a graphics environment. Nevertheless, it is
|
|
important to realize that the <B>openwindow</B> command <I>will</I>
|
|
generate multiple virtual windows in a batch-mode environment, and
|
|
these can only be separately accessed using the <B>setpoint</B>
|
|
command.

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>setpoint</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.

<H3>Bugs:</H3>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The use of the window ID number is unique to this command and should
|
|
be a window name like every other window-related command. Likewise,
|
|
scripts would best make use of this command if the position were in
|
|
layout coordinates, and <B>magic</B> translated them back to screen
|
|
coordinates in the indicated window to set the reference point.
