Operator Reference
get_paint (Operator)
get_paint — Get the current display mode for gray values.
Signature
get_paint( :  : WindowHandle : Mode)
Description
get_paint returns the display mode for gray values in the
window. Mode is used by the operator
disp_image. get_paint is used for temporary
changes of the gray value display mode. The current value is queried,
then changed (with the operator set_paint) and finally the
old value is written back. The available modes can be viewed with
the operator query_paint. Mode is the name
of the display mode. If a mode can be customized with parameters,
the parameter values are passed in a tuple after the mode name. The
order of values is the same as in set_paint.
