std-getpoint | ![]() |
STD-GET1POINT is basically the same as GETPOINT with one argument,
STD-GET2POINT the same as GETPOINT with two arguments,
STD-GETPOINT (full options) simulates (PROGN (INITGET flag kwd)(STD-GET2POINT)) and more.
If a lisp function given at the prompt returns a valid type this one is accepted.
With std-getpoint the additional INITGET initialization and default value check may be omitted, thus leading to easier looping code.
If the default argument is given (and it is not nil and the flag contains no bitvalue 1), then empty input is allowed as well.
flag: integer, same as the INITGET flag or nil
kwd: a initget-like string or a list of strings or nil
msg: a string to be displayed as a prompt or nil.
def: a default value or nil
bpt: a point from which a rubberband is drawn, and if a point is entered, from which a highlighted line is drawn or nil.
Same as GETPOINT.
Interrupts the program flow, prints the formatted message and waits for user input.
