Saving and retrieving sessions
After creating several graphs, you may want to save the windows you have created (i.e., graphs and panels) to a file so that you can recall them at a later time. allows you to save either all or selected windows to a session by selecting the Save selected or Save all option of the Session menu in the Print & File Window Manager. Save all will save the position and contents of all 's windows. Save selected will save only those windows that are currently selected in the Selection rectangle in Print & File Window Manager. Either of these options will pop up a window in which you can enter the filename of your save session.
Try to save all the windows into a session file called sthB.ses
If we save our session to a file, we can either load the session each time we load our program by selecting the Retrieve option of the Session menu in the Print & File Window Manager, or we can have our program automatically load our session for us. To do this, we need to add the following at the end of our program:
xopen("sthB.ses")
where sthB.ses is the name of the session we saved (Note: the name must be in quotes). The next time we start our program, the session with our graphs and menus will automatically be loaded into .
