plq: Query Plot Element Status

Calling Sequence
...

  
plq() 
legend_list = plq() **** RETURN VALUE NOT YET IMPLEMENTED **** 
plq(n_element[, n_contour]) 
properties = plq(n_element[, n_contour])

Description

Called as a subroutine, plq prints the list of legends for the current coordinate system (with an (H) to mark hidden elements), or prints a list of current properties of element n_element (such as line type, width, font, etc.), or of contour number n_contour of element number n_element (which must be contours generated using the plc command). Elements and contours are both numbered starting with one; hidden elements or contours are included in this numbering.

The plq function always operates on the current coordinate system in the current graphics window; use window and plsys to change these.
