💖 WHO(nged) — BRL-CAD MGED Commands 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the who page. This is the BRL-CAD MGED Commands manual, section nged, and yes we’re gonna make object listing feel like a group chat. 💅

📛 NAME 📛

who — Lists the top-level objects that are currently displayed. Periodt. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

who [[real] | [phony] | [both]]
who solids [level]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

who lists the top-level objects that are currently displayed. That’s the whole main character energy: you ask, it tells you what’s on top. 🫶

  • phony — asks for just phony objects. Phony objects are typically objects that are drawn in the MGED display, but are not actual database objects. Some phony objects are drawings from the vdraw command and the edgeuses drawn by the ev -u command.
  • real — asks for just real objects.
  • both — asks for both real and phony objects.
  • default — just real objects.
  • Any of the flags may be abbreviated by its first letter.

The solids subcommand reports the fully expanded set of displayed solids. The optional level controls how much detail is shown:

  • -2 or less — prints only primitive names.
  • -1 — prints full paths.
  • 0 — adds illumination state.
  • 1 — adds center/size/region/color information.
  • 2 — adds vector-list counts.
  • 3 or greater — adds the vector-list commands themselves.

The solid_report and x commands remain available as compatibility aliases for this detailed report. iykyk. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

The examples show a typical discovery flow: start with who to see which top-level objects are drawn, then switch to who solids when you need the expanded solid paths and per-solid details.

🍓 Example 1. List the top-level objects that are currently displayed.

🦋 Example 2. List the displayed solids with path and per-solid detail information.

mged>who solids 1

💖 Cute sign-off: source/version is BRL-CAD, page is WHO(nged), and the footer didn’t print a date — so no date reveal, just mysterious iconic behavior. 💖
