.. _hoc_list:
List
----
.. hoc:class:: List
List of objects
Syntax:
``List()``
``List("templatename")``
Description:
The List class provides useful tools for creating and manipulating lists of objects.
For example, if you have
a network of cells connected at synapses and each synapse is a separate object, you may want to use
lists to help organize the network. You could create one list of all pre-synaptic connections and
another of post-synaptic connections, as well as a list of all the connecting cells.
``List()``
Create an empty list. Objects added to the list are referenced.
Objects removed from the list are unreferenced.
``List("templatename")``
Create a list of all the object instances of the template.
These object instances are NOT referenced and therefore the list
dynamically changes as objects of template instances are
created and destroyed. Adding and removing objects
from this kind of list is not allowed.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.append
Syntax:
``.append(object)``
Description:
Append an object to a list, and return the number of items in list.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.prepend
Syntax:
``.prepend(object)``
Description:
Add an object to the beginning of a list, and return the number of objects in the list.
The inserted object has index=0. Following objects have an incremented
index.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.insrt
Syntax:
``.insrt(i, object)``
Description:
Insert an object before item *i*, and return the number of items in the list.
The inserted object has index *i*, following items have an incremented
index.
Not called :ref:`insert <hoc_keyword_insert>` because that name is a keyword
----
.. hoc:method:: List.remove
Syntax:
``.remove(i)``
Description:
Remove the object at index *i*. Following items have a decremented
index. ie it's often most convenient to remove items from back
to front. Return the number of objects remaining in the list.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.remove_all
Syntax:
``.remove_all()``
Description:
Remove all the objects from the list. Return 0.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.index
Syntax:
``.index(object)``
Description:
Return the index of the object in the list. Return a -1 if the
object is not in the list.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.count
Syntax:
``.count()``
Description:
Return the number of objects in the list.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.browser
Syntax:
``.browser()``
``.browser("title", "strname")``
``.browser("title", strdef, "command")``
Description:
``.browser(["title"], ["strname"])``
Make the list visible on the screen.
The items are normally the object names but if the second arg is
present and is the name of a string symbol that is defined
in the object's template, then that string is displayed in the list.
``.browser("title", strdef, "command")``
Browser labels are computed. For each item, command is executed
with :hoc:data:`hoc_ac_` set to the index of the item. On return, the
contents of *strdef* are used as the label. Some objects
notify the List when they change, ie point processes when they change
their location notify the list.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.selected
Syntax:
``.selected()``
Description:
Return the index of the highlighted object or -1 if no object is highlighted.
.. seealso::
:hoc:meth:`List.browser`
----
.. hoc:method:: List.select
Syntax:
``.select(i)``
Description:
Highlight the object at index *i*.
.. seealso::
:hoc:meth:`List.browser`
----
.. hoc:method:: List.scroll_pos
Syntax:
``index = list.scroll_pos()``
``list.scroll_pos(index)``
Description:
Returns the index of the top of the browser window. Sets the scroll so that
index is the top of the browser window. A large number will cause a scroll
to the bottom.
.. seealso::
:hoc:meth:`List.browser`
----
.. hoc:method:: List.select_action
Syntax:
``list.select_action("command")``
``list.select_action("command", 0or1)``
Description:
Execute a command when an item in the
list :hoc:meth:`List.browser` is selected by single clicking the mouse.
:hoc:data:`hoc_ac_` contains the index when the command is executed. Thus
``l.select_action("action(hoc_ac_)")`` is convenient usage.
action will be invoked within the object context that existed when
``select_action`` was called.
If the second arg exists and is 1 then the action is only called on
the mouse button release. If nothing is selected at that time then
:hoc:data:`hoc_ac_` = -1
Example:
This example shows that the object context is saved when an action is
registered.
.. code-block::
none
begintemplate A
objref this, list, obj
proc init() {
list = new List()
list.append(this)
for i=0,4 {
obj = new Random()
list.append(obj)
}
list.browser()
list.select_action("act(hoc_ac_)")
}
proc act() {
printf("item %d selected in list of object %s\n", $1, this)
}
endtemplate A
objref a[2]
for i=0,1 a[i] = new A()
----
.. hoc:method:: List.accept_action
Syntax:
``list.accept_action("command")``
Description:
Execute a command when double clicking
on an item displayed in the list :hoc:meth:`List.browser` by the mouse.
:hoc:data:`hoc_ac_` contains the index when the command is executed. Command is
executed within the object context that existed when ``accept_action``
was called.
Example:
.. code-block::
none
objref list, obj
list = new List()
for i=0,4 {
obj = new Random()
list.append(obj)
obj = new List()
list.append(obj)
}
list.browser()
list.accept_action("act()")
proc act() {
printf("item %d accepted\n", hoc_ac_)
}
----
.. hoc:method:: List.object
Syntax:
``.object(i)``
``.o(i)``
Description:
Return the object at index *i*.
----
.. hoc:method:: List.o
Syntax:
``.object(i)``
``.o(i)``
Description:
Return the object at index *i*.
