Hello,

In several occasions, I considered that it would be useful to get a handle on a highlighted entity.

Does a function which might be called “get_hilited_entity” exist ? I did not find either in the properties of basic entities like “Polyline” something related to the highlighted state of a polyline…


It depends on what /highlighted/ means to you. There is the Scilab's meaning -- as the current axes or figure are the default targets for forthcoming plots -- ; and the java meaning -- as the elements that have the java focus, as when we click on a figure, or in an axes, on a curve, etc. Both meanings do not match:

 * just clicking an an axes does not make it as the new default target
   for plotting
 * making a figure or axes the active ones for Scilab does not move and
   put the mouse's pointer on them.

For the Scilab meaning, gce() is made for your request.

twinkle() helps a lot to visually identify the current active entity gce().

Regards
