Marknet env variables and values

psill000
psill000 over 5 years ago

I did a dump of the env variables and grep -i mark | grep layout and did not see the layer of current env value of the marknet hilite layer.

Is there a env variable that has the value of the Auto Hilight Color value in the Mark net function?
How to get it?

How to change it or get it to cycle?

Get the list of layers used in leHiMarkNet?

    Hi Paul,

    The choices are hardcoded to be y0-y9 and there are no controls to change this. Whether it is cycling by default can be controlled by this:

    envSetVal("layout" "markNetAutoColorCycle" 'boolean nil) ; t is the default

    There is this article which gives a slightly clunky way to set it to start from a specific y0-y9 layer: How to make markNet use a specific layer "y4 drawing" to trace the net and have it marked thick so that it is more visible?

    Andrew.
