pw::Application setClipboard entity_list

This action sets the given list of entities to be the contents of the application clipboard.  The entities are copied in their current state and are not available for usage until pasted using the pw::Application begin Paste command.  Note that when writing a script that uses copying, if the copied data is not meant to be left on the clipboard for use outside of the script, one should use the pw::Copier mode instead of setClipboard.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Information

This command supports progress updates.

When pw::Spacing objects are copied to the clipboard, all spacing objects with non-zero values are retained.

For objects that have a zero value, they may be modified or ignored as follows.  If the spacing object is associated with a dimensioned connector, the actual grid spacing value will be used as the spacing value.  If the spacing object is not associated with a dimensioned connector and other spacing objects that do have either an explicit or implicit non-zero value are included in the copy operation, then the zero value spacing objects will be ignored.  Finally, if only zero value spacing objects are specified, they will be copied as is.  Note that pasting the zero spacing object will effective erase any specified spacing values on the selected targets of the paste operation.

Example

Code

# Copy 2 connectors to the clipboard
pw::Application setClipboard [list $con $con2]
puts "Clipboard size (a): [$pw::Application getClipboardCount]"
# Copy a the beginning spacing of a connector's second
# subconnector to the clipboard
set spacing1 [[$con getDistribution 1] getBeginSpacing]
pw::Application setClipboard $spacing1
puts "Clipboard size (b): [$pw::Application getClipboardCount]"
# Copy 2 non-zero spacings and 1 zero spacing to the clipboard
set spacing2 [[$con getDistribution 1] getEndSpacing]
set zeroSpace [pw::SpacingExplicit create]
pw::Application setClipboard [list $spacing1 $spacing2 $zeroSpace]
puts "Clipboard size (c): [$pw::Application getClipboardCount]"
# Copy a single zero-value spacing to the clipboard
pw::Application setClipboard [list $zeroSpace]
puts "Clipboard size (d): [$pw::Application getClipboardCount]"

Output

Clipboard size (a): 2
Clipboard size (b): 1
Clipboard size (c): 2
Clipboard size (d): 1

Attribute Types

Attribute Access

String Range Format

pattern[ minLen maxLen]

where,

example,

The regex pattern “/^hello.*!$/” and the glob pattern “:hello*!:” will allow strings starting with “hello”, followed by zero or more characters, and ending with “!”.  Some valid strings include “hello world!”, “hello!”, and “hello!!!”.

Enum Range Format

[@<sepChar>]name[=int][<sepChar>name[=int]...]

where,

enum example 1,

The follwing 2 Enums are equivalent.  The first enum uses the default ‘|’ (vbar) separator character.  The second uses a custom ‘,’ (comma) separator character.

up|down=6|left|right=10|upLeft|upRight|downLeft=6|downRight @,up,down=6,left,right=10,upLeft,upRight,downLeft=6,downRight

Resulting in the following enum item associations

up=0, down=6, left=7, right=10, upLeft=11, upRight=12, downLeft=6, downRight=7

enum example 2,

The follwing 2 Enums are NOT equivalent.

A,B|C,D|E,F produces “A,B”=0, “C,D”=1, “E,F”=2 @,A,B|C,D|E,F produces “A”=0, “B|C”=1 “D|E”=2 “F”=3

Bool Range Format

The Bool range format is the same as the Enum range format.  However, for Bool, each item’s value is interpreted as a logical true or false.  The names defined in the range are added to the standard “string to boolean” name mappings.

The standard “string to boolean” mappings are;

• ”true” and “yes” map to logical true
• ”false” and “no” map to logical false

All integer values are mapped as expected.  That is, 0 is mapped to false and all other non-zero integer values are mapped to true.

example,

This range will cast the strings “true,yes,accept,bad” to true and “false,no,reject,bad” to false.

”accept=1|reject=0|good=1|bad=0”

Int, UInt and Real Range Format

minVal maxVal[ typicalMinVal typicalMaxVal]

where,

StringList Range Format

pattern[ minLen maxLen[ minCount maxCount]]

where,

pattern minLen maxLen - See the String Range Format for details.

EnumList Range Format

{EnumRange}[ minCount maxCount]

where,

Examples
