<H3>Locking Parts of an Instrument</H3>
A number of instrument methods are available for locking parts of an
instrument. These include:
<P><PRE>
lock(<x>,<y>)
lockLeft()
lockRight()
lockTop()
lockBottom()
lockEnds()
lockCorners()
lockPerimeter()
</PRE>
<P>The <CODE>lock</CODE><A NAME="1"> method</A> locks the single cell which is nearest
to the <CODE>(<x>,<y>)</CODE> position specified in instrument coordinates
(see section <A HREF="UserManual_31.html">*</A>).
<P>The <CODE>lockLeft</CODE><A NAME="2">,</A> <CODE>lockRight</CODE><A NAME="3">,</A> <CODE>lockTop</CODE><A NAME="4">
and</A> <CODE>lockBottom</CODE><A NAME="5"> methods</A> each lock the cells at one extremity
of an instrument. For rectangular sheets the behaviour is obvious, but
for other instruments some clarification is needed. For strings, only the
<CODE>lockLeft</CODE> and <CODE>lockright</CODE> methods are appropriate. For
circular and elliptical sheets only a few cells at the edges of the sheet
will be locked by each method.
<P>The <CODE>lockEnds</CODE> method is equivalent to issuing a <CODE>lockLeft</CODE>
and <CODE>lockRight</CODE> together and is used mostly with strings.
<P>Finally the <CODE>lockCorners</CODE><A NAME="6"> is</A> only appropriate for rectangular
sheets and the <CODE>lockPerimeter</CODE><A NAME="7"> is</A> appropriate for all
instruments except strings.
<P>
