Re: measurements AKA measurement AKA measure AKA measures AKA monitor AKA monitors
currently we have: set measurements OFF # HIDES all measurements set measurements ON # UNHIDES all measurements measurements # UNHIDES all measurements measurements ON # UNHIDES all measurements measurements OFF # DELETES all measurements It seems odd to me that "measurements ON" is not the opposite of "measurements OFF". That is, it seems to me that "measurements OFF" should just hide the measurements, not delete them, and that there should be another mechanism to actually DELETE the measurements. I propose: measurements OFF #hide all (current) measurements measurements ON #unhide all (current) measurements measurements DELETE #delete all (current) measurements to go along with some new functionality in 10.x, namely: measure OFF (atom expression) (atom expression) .... measure ON (atom expression) (atom expression) .... measure DELETE (atom expression) (atom expression) .... measure ALL (atom expression) (atom expression) .... measure ALLCONNECTED (atom expression) (atom expression) .... measure RANGE minValue maxValue (atom expression) (atom expression) .... where the keywords OFF, ON, ALL, ALLCONNECTED, RANGE minValue maxValue, and DELETE can be mixed as desired: measure DELETE ALL RANGE 0.1 1.5 (carbon) (oxygen) measure ALLCONNECTED (carbon) (oxygen) measure OFF ALLCONNECTED (carbon) (oxygen) (The keyword RANGE is optional here, as omitting it leads to no ambiguity.) This would not effect the overriding set measurements OFF which would still hide all measurements regardless of their individual visibility settings. I believe this change will have minimal impact, as "measurement OFF" will appear to work the same unless a later "measurement ON" is given in current scripts. The current use of "measurement ON" I find unlikely, since currently after a "measurement OFF" command, "measurement ON" does nothing at all. Comments?
