Sets mode
modeNameString
to the new setting
settingString
, and returns the current setting
of that mode.
modeNameString
is a character string that
specifies which mode you want to set. It must
be one of the mode names from the table
below.
settingString
is a character string that
specifies the new setting for the mode. It
must be one of the settings listed below for
the specific mode you are setting.
list
contains pairs of keyword strings and
will set them all at once. This is
recommended for multiple-mode changes.
The example shown may not work if each of
the pairs is entered with a separate
setMode()
in the order shown.
Use
setMode(
var
)
to restore settings saved
with
getMode("ALL")
!
var
.
Note: To set or return information about the
Unit System
mode, use
setUnits()
or
getUnits()
instead of
setMode()
or
getMode()
.
