temporalboxes

(maquette module) -- extracts a list of Temporalboxes from a Maquette

Syntax

temporalboxes self

Inputs

name data type(s) comments
self a Maquette in itself mode

Output

output data type(s) comments
first a list of Temporalbox objects  

Description

This function returns all the Temporalboxes in a Maquette in a list. The Maquette passed must be in ‘itself’ mode. To put an object in ‘itself’ mode, click on it once and hit b. A small box appears with an ‘x’ in it. Click this box three times to cycle through the modes. ‘Itself’ mode is indicated by a down arrow: ↓ This means that the Maquette will pass itself rather than its output:

This function is usually used in conjunction with removetemporalbox or by reconnecting the elements of the Temporalboxes to class factory icons in order to extract their parameters (their positions within the box, what they contain, etc.)

This function takes a Maquette and extracts a Temporalbox. The reverse is performed by get- maquette
