Pointwise Glyph Commands - Exit?

john1223 · June 25, 2010, 16:47

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so I just wanted to say hi. I am running a glyph script through pointwise, and I was wondering if there is a journaling command which closes out the pointwise window? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate anyone's help.

Hi John.

Interesting Glyph scripting question. If you launch the script using the Execute Script command in Pointwise, terminating or exiting Pointwise itself will kill the Tcl event loop and bye-bye script.

On the other hand, I think if you initiate the script from a wish shell, you can start Pointwise, have it run a script, exit Pointwise, do other stuff, etc. HOWEVER, I have never done this myself. You could give it a shot and if you get stuck contact our Tech Support Team at support@pointwise.com.

Best Regards
