{alias:gvar}
h2. Name

*gvar* — Get Geocap variables and status

h2. Syntax
{panel:|borderStyle=solid|borderWidth=1|bgColor=#FFFFAA}

*set var \[gvar _variable_]*

{panel}

h2. Description

The *gvar* command in the context *set var \[gvar _variable_]* will transfer the Geocap variable or status of the variable into the the Tcl variable; in this case *var*. The *gvar* command is used in advanced scripting when reading internal Geocap variables or status is necessary.

h2. Arguments

h2. Examples
The following example show the use of gvar command. 

The task is to split a dataset into cells with 3 points in each cell. It uses advanced Geocap programming.
{noformat:|borderWidth=1|bgColor=#eeeeee}
set numpoi [gvar numpoint] ; # get number of points
set n3 [expr $numpoi / 3]
set pp [points x y z] ; # transfer all points to the pp variable as a list
dhi data ; # delete data in workspace
set i 0
for {set j 0} {$j < $n3} {incr j} {
    for {set k 0} {$k < 3} {incr k} {
        set a [lindex $pp $i] ; # get the x coordinate
        incr i
        set b [lindex $pp $i] ; # get the y coordinate
        incr i
        set c [lindex $pp $i] ; # get the z coordinate
        eval sta $a $b $c ; # stack the coordinates
        incr i
    }
    rea ter ; # read the stack
    mhi data app ; # append data into workspace
}
 
# The result is saved in workspace data
{noformat}
