ImageNameList

ImageNameList (graphNameStr, separatorStr)​

The ImageNameList function returns a string containing a list of image names in the graph window or subwindow identified by graphNameStr.

Parameters​

graphNameStr can be "" to refer to the top graph.

When identifying a subwindow with graphNameStr, see Subwindow Syntax for details on forming the window hierarchy.

The parameter separatorStr should contain a single ASCII character such as "," or ";" to separate the names.

An image name is defined as the name of the 2D wave that defines the image with an optional #ddd suffix that distinguishes between two or more images that have the same wave name. Since the image name has to be parsed, it is quoted if necessary.

Examples​

The following command lines create a very unlikely image display. If you did this, you would want to put each image on different axes, and arrange the axes such that they don't overlap. That would greatly complicate the example.

Make/O/N=(20,20) jack,'jack # 2';
Display;AppendImage jack
AppendImage/T/R jack
AppendImage 'jack # 2'
AppendImage/T/R 'jack # 2'
Print ImageNameList("",";")

prints jack;jack#1;'jack # 2';'jack # 2'#1;
