The PrintHUD
command redirects the output of the Print command from the
console to the top right HUD
.
Printing to the head up display is mainly useful for plugins,
that retrieve data from a database and must show it to the user. For small messages,
ShowMessage may be sufficient. You can still use
<Ctrl>+<Insert> to show the object or simulation properties.
Example:
PrintHUD
Clear head up display and redirect printing using Print.
Example macro:
# EXAMPLE PrintHUD
# Requires YASARA Model
Clear
PrintHUD
for i=1 to 25
for j=0 to 1
PosText (i),(i+j*13)
Print "Hello World!"
