ted — Places the parameters of the currently edited primitive shape into a file, then starts a text editor for the user to modify the parameters.
The ted command places the parameters of the currently edited primitive shape into a file, then starts a text editor for the user to modify the parameters. The editor used is whatever the user has set in the environment variable EDITOR. If EDITOR is not set, then /bin/ed is used. MGED must be in the primitive edit mode prior to using this command. The red command performs a similar function for combinations.
The example shows the use of the ted command to place the parameters of a currently edited primitive shape into a file and start a text editor to modify the parameters.
Example 1. Use a text editor to modify a currently edited shape.
