.SH "NAME"
e_command \- Adds the objects in the argument list to the display list so that they will appear on the \fIMGED\fR display\&. This is a synonym for the \fBdraw\fR command\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Adds the objects in the argument list to the display list so that they will appear on the
\fIMGED\fR
display\&. This is a synonym for the
\fBdraw\fR
command; see that entry for a full list of options\&. The
\fI\-C\fR
option provides the user a way to specify a color that overrides all other color specifications including combination colors and region\-id\-based colors\&. The
\fI\-A\fR
and
\fI\-o\fR
options allow the user to select objects by attribute\&. The
\fI\-s\fR
specifies that subtracted and intersected objects should be drawn with solid lines rather than dot\-dash lines\&. The
\fI\-m1\fR
option will display BOTs shaded if the display manager is OpenGL and the zbuffer and lighting is enabled\&. To enable these settings, from the MGED GUI, choose "Modes/Display Manager/OpenGL", "Misc/Z\-buffer" and "Misc/Lighting"\&. If the zbuffer and lighting is already enabled, toggle them off then back on to ensure they are enabled\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The following examples show the use of the
\fBe\fR
command to draw particular objects, to specify color, to draw with shape lines rather than dot\-dash lines, and to limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs\&.
.PP
\fBExample\ \&1.\ \&Draw specific objects in the \fIMGED\fR display.\fR
.PP
mged> \fBe object1 object2\fR
.RS 4
Draws
\fIobject1\fR
and
\fIobject2\fR
in the MGED display\&.

.PP
\fBExample\ \&2.\ \&Limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.\fR
.PP

mged>\fBe \-A \-o Comment {First comment} Comment {Second comment} \fR
.PP
Draws objects that have a "Comment" attribute with a value of either "First comment" or "Second comment\&."
