Typing Commands into the Console

[Jörg 29]

Here are some basic things to know about typing commands into the console:

• Use auto-completion CTRL + SPACE in order to complete your commands (you do not have to memorize all commands!).
  
• Previously called console commands can be retrieved by using the arrow key (cursor needs to be set in the console widget).
  
• There is also a command

  clearConsole()
  

  to remove all console output - just type it into the console. It is also available via the context menu of the console (right mouse click on the title bar of the console).
  

• You can create any object by using the console instead of using the menu entries. For instance, a point with name "start" gets created by entering

  point start(1,1,0)
  

  
  

  • The documentation browser gives you all creator commands for any type.
