.SH "NAME"
oed \- Places MGED directly into the matrix edit mode\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBoed\fR\ 'u
\fBoed\fR {\fIpath_lhs\ path_rhs\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Places MGED directly into the matrix edit mode\&. The
\fIpath_rhs\fR
must be a path to a primitive shape, and
\fIpath_lhs\fR
must be a path to a combination that includes the first component of
\fIpath_rhs\fR
as one of its members\&. The edited matrix will be the matrix in the final component of
\fIpath_lhs\fR
that corresponds to the first component of
\fIpath_rhs\fR\&. The last component in
\fIpath_rhs \fR
is used as the reference shape during object editing\&.
.PP
Note that for scripting the object to be edited must be in view so a
\fBB\fR
or
\fBdraw\fR
must be used on the object before using the
\fBoed\fR
command\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The example shows the use of the
\fBoed\fR
command to place MGED into matrix edit mode\&. The matrix in the final component of
\fIpath_lhs\fR
that corresponds to the first component of
\fIpath_rhs\fR
will be edited\&.
.PP
\fBExample\ \&1.\ \&Place MGED in matrix edit mode.\fR
.PP

mged>\fBoed group1/group2 region1/shapea\fR
.PP
Places MGED into matrix edit mode, editing the matrix in
\fIgroup2\fR
that corresponds to
\fIregion1\fR, using
\fIshapea\fR
as the reference shape\&.
