editDisplayLayerMembers([fullNames=boolean], [noRecurse=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
editDisplayLayerMembers is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This command is used to query and edit membership of display layers. No
equivalent 'remove' command is necessary since all objects must be in exactly
one display layer. Removing an object from a layer can be accomplished by
adding it to a different layer.
int | Number of objects added to the layer |
string[] | Query: List of objects in layer |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
displayLayer, display, layer, member, relationship
createDisplayLayer, editDisplayLayerGlobals, layerButton
fullNames, noRecurse
Long name (short name) |

noRecurse(nr)

boolean

If set then only add selected objects to the display layer. Otherwise all
descendants of the selected objects will also be added.
|
|
fullNames(fn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
(Query only.) If set then return the full DAG paths of the objects in the
layer. Otherwise return just the name of the object.
