Overview

Selecting this menu item pops up the Command line interface window, which allows you to type commands to MeshTV.

Command line interface window

The Command line interface window is shown in Command line interface window . The contents of the scrolled window might be different from the picture below when you bring up the window.

Certain operations in MeshTV are either easier to execute with the command line interface, or are only accessible via typed commands. The Command line interface window allows the user to use typed commands. This window is usually posted to the MeshTV Main window in the Notepad area, but it can always be pulled up via the Command line... button in the Extra menu.

Note: Be careful when you type in commands via this text field, since you can use commands which might have undesired side-effects with the GUI. For a list of "safe" commands to use, see the MeshTV Getting Started Manual .

Command line scrolled window

This area contains the list of commands the user has previously typed. Users can "cut and paste" lines from this window to the Command text field to avoid retyping commands.

Command text field

Use this text field to type commands to MeshTV. Note that these commands will not be reflected by the windows in the GUI. For example, if you typed "printwin printer=myprinter", the Printer text field in the Set Print Options... window would not be updated with "myprinter."

Post/Unpost button

If you plan to use a window repeatedly, but you don't want it cluttering up your screen, you might want to post it. When a window is posted, it appears in the Notepad area at the bottom of the MeshTV Main window, where it remains until it is unposted. Press this button to post the window. Once the window is posted, this button will change to Unpost .

Dismiss button

When you wish to close a window, press the Dismiss button.
