<title>GrADS Command: draw dropmenu</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="e0f0ff" text="#000000">
<h2><b>draw dropmenu</b></h2>
<p>
<code>draw dropmenu <i>number xpos ypos width height text_list</i></code>
<p>
<p>
Draws a drop menu with the following attributes:
<p>
<ul>
<code><i>number </i></code>
menu number, 0 - 64<br>
<code><i>xpos </i></code>
x center of the menu base in page coordinates (inches)<br>
<code><i>ypos </i></code>
y center of the menu base in page coordinates (inches)<br>
<code><i>width </i></code>
width (x) of the menu base (inches)<br>
<code><i>height </i></code>
height (y) of the menu base (inches)<br>
<code><i>text_list </i></code>
the contents of the menu, seperated by vertical bars (|)<br>
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>The first item in the text list is the string to put in the 'base' of the
dropmenu (the base being the part that always appears); the rest of the
text are the menu items. Empty spaces are allowed in the strings.
<p>
<li>When the user clicks on the 'base', the rest of the menu appears.
<p>
<li>The menu colors are controlled by the <a
href="gradcomdsetdropmenu.html"><code>set dropmenu</code></a>
command.
<p>
<li>Dropmenus can be nested or "cascading". The syntax for creating a
"spawned" dropmenu is similar to that for the main dropmenu. First, any
item in the <code><i>text_list</i></code> that will spawn a new
dropmenu should have <code>"><i>num</i>>"</code> appended, where
<code><i>num</i></code> will be the number assigned to the spawned
dropmenu. This new dropmenu is then defined with the following syntax:
<p>
<code>draw dropmenu <i>num</i> cascade <i>new_text_list</i></code>
<p>
There can be up to three levels of nested cascading dropmenus
launched from the main dropmenu. The 2nd example below illustrates how
to implement cascading dropmenus.
<p>
<li>The section of the User's Guide on <a
href="script.html#widgets">widgets</a> and the <a
href="gradcomdqpos.html"><code>q pos</code></a> reference page have
more information on using dropmenus.
</ol>
<p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Here is a script that illustrates how to use a simple dropmenu:
<p>
<pre>
'clear'
'reset events'
'set rgb 90 100 100 100'
'set rgb 91 150 150 150'
'set rgb 92 200 200 200'
'set dropmenu 1 91 90 92 0 91 92 90 1 91 90 92 92 90 6'
'draw dropmenu 1 1 8 1.5 0.5 Select a Variable | Wind | Temperature | Height | SLP '
noselect = 1
while (noselect)
'q pos'
menunum = subwrd(result,7)
menuitem = subwrd(result,8)
if (menunum = 1)
if menuitem = 1 ; newbase = 'Variable = Wind' ; endif
if menuitem = 2 ; newbase = 'Variable = Temp' ; endif
if menuitem = 3 ; newbase = 'Variable = Height' ; endif
if menuitem = 4 ; newbase = 'Variable = SLP' ; endif
'draw dropmenu 1 1 8 1.5 0.5 'newbase' | Wind | Temperature | Height | SLP '
noselect = 0
endif
endwhile
</pre>
<p>
<li>Here is a script that illustrates how to use cascading dropmenus:
<p>
<pre>
'clear'
'reset events'
'set rgb 90 100 100 100'
'set rgb 91 150 150 150'

'set dropmenu 1 91 -1 -1 1 91 90 92 1 91 90 92 90 92 6'
