one query...

what is use of --> {*}

It is to expand a tcl list (from version 8.5), instead of using eval command

so you provide IDs (multiple argument) to *createmark but not a list of them (one argument)

Hi,

 

One query

 

How do i interpret the return value of puts $Types.

 

If it is printing 2 what does that mean ?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply

 

From knowing 2 is plot how can i make out whether the selected component contains 2d 0r 3d elements

I think my script already returned '2d' or '3d' or both, depends on what you selected. Do you see it?
