specialopen type [arguments]
where type may be one of the following:
- layout
- Open a layout window. Equivalent to the openwindow command.
- wind3d tk_path_name
- Generate the 3D window. Only available when using OpenGL graphics ("magic -d OGL"). The tk_path_name argument allows the window to be inserted into a Tk frame instead of generated directly on the desktop.
- color
- Open a window allowing layout colors to be edited.
- netlist
- Open a window allowing interactive definition of netlists.
The specialopen command opens one of several special-purpose windows known to magic, as well as the default layout window. Each window has a set of commands associated with it. The layout window commands are listed in this reference guide along with the general-purpose commands, because the layout window is the most common type. For the command sets of the other special-purpose windows, see the sections on the colormap, netlist, and 3D rendering.
specialopen is implemented as a built-in window command in magic.
