highlights one or more graphical objects by flashing them
twinkle twinkle(n) twinkle(h) twinkle(h,n)
handle or vector of handles of one or several graphical entities to blink.
By default, the current graphic entity pointed by gce()
is considered.
positive integer number: the number of blinks. Default n = 5.
twinkle
blinks n
times graphical entities
handled with h
. If some of the objects are initially invisible,
they are blinked with other ones and are finally left invisible before returning.
If twinkle()
is run while no graphical figure exists,
it does nothing and returns. If the handle h
has some invalid
components (the entity has been deleted in the meantime),
twinkle(h..)
yields an error.
