Description[edit]

The "attach" command is used to open a display window. The set of supported window types includes X and ogl. It should be noted that attach no longer releases previously attached display windows (i.e., multiple attaches are supported). To destroy a display window, use the release command.


Example(s)[edit]

mged> attach ogl
Open an ogl display window named .dm_ogl0 (assuming this is the first ogl display window opened using the default naming scheme).
mged> attach ogl

mged> attach -n myOgl -W 720 -N 486 ogl
Open a 720x486 OpenGL display window named myOgl.
mged> attach -n myX -d remote_host:0 -i myInit X
