getMode("ALL
")
ListStringPairs
If the argument is a specific mode name, returns
a string containing the current setting for that
mode.
If the argument is
"ALL", returns a list of string
pairs containing the settings of all the modes. If
you want to restore the mode settings later, you
must store the
getMode("ALL") result in a
variable, and then use
setMode() to restore the
modes.
For a listing of mode names and possible settings,
see
setMode().
Note: To set or return information about the
Unit System mode, use setUnits() or getUnits()
instead of setMode() or getMode().
