## Name

e_command — Adds the objects in the argument list to the display list so that they will appear on the MGED display. This is a synonym for the draw command.

## Synopsis

`e` [-A `attribute name/value pairs`] [-s] [-A -o`attribute name/value pairs`] [-C#/#/#] [`objects`]

## DESCRIPTION

Adds the objects in the argument list to the display list so that they will appear on the MGED display. This is a synonym for the draw command; see that entry for a full list of options. The -Coption provides the user a way to specify a color that overrides all other color specifications including combination colors and region-id-based colors. The -A and -o options allow the user to select objects by attribute. The -s specifies that subtracted and intersected objects should be drawn with solid lines rather than dot-dash lines.

## EXAMPLES

The following examples show the use of the e command to draw particular objects, to specify color, to draw with shape lines rather than dot-dash lines, and to limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.

Example 1. Draw specific objects in the MGED display.

`mged>` `e object1 object2`

  Draws object1 and object2 in the MGED display.

Example 2. Limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.

`mged>``e -A -o Comment {First comment} Comment {Second comment}`

Draws objects that have a "Comment" attribute with a value of either "First comment" or "Second comment."
