Setting up the Bind key .

anola123

I want one key to toggle the visibility (between visible/ invisible) of metal ( say <Key>1 for M1). I used " hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "leSetLayerVisible(\"M1\" t)") " this code to make it visible. Now, how can use the same key to make it invisible ??

    !leIsLayerVisible(\"M1\")

    can you brief me about the purpose of this function?

    Seriously? It's pretty obviously named - leIsLayerVisible determines whether (shock, horror) the given layer is visible or not, and the "!" operator is a not - it inverts the result. So that means that if the layer is visible, leIsLayerVisible(layerName) returns t and !leIsLayerVisible(layerName) would then be nil. So setting the layer visibility to the inverse of the current visibility will toggle the visibility.

    You could also read the documentation.
