command to toggle Stencil's checkerboard visibility

[Svengali]

Is there a GEORGE command that lets you toggle the Show Stencil checkerboard on and off?

If not, I'd like to request a command that lets you set the Show Stencil checkerboard area on/off AND control its transparency.

Perhaps something like this:

tv_ShowStencil ["On"|"Off"] [Opacity val]

Used this way:
tv_LayerStencil LayerID On Normal // existing command to activate a layer as a stencil
tv_ShowStencil On Opacity 20 // show checkerboard at 80% transparent

OR

tv_ShowStencil Off // shut checkerboard off

OR

tv_ShowStencil On Opacity 100 // show checkerboard at 0% transparent (totally opaque)

thanks, Sven

Code: Select all

tv_display stencil on|off

But no parameter to toggle or set the value or set the color

tv_display stencil on|off

thanks, that is useful.

A Request then:
(1) make the Stencil color and opacity settings be remembered between sessions
(OR)
(2) make the Stencil color and opacity set-able in the tv_Display Stencil parameters

And Another Stencil question as well: If a stencil is in effect on two layers, shouldn't the stencil checkerboard show for BOTH layers since they BOTH affect where you can draw on other layers?
