# ISETCURRENT

## Example

In the following example, we create three iPlot iTools and display the ID for each one. At the end, we set the first iTool created as the current iTool.

IPLOT, RANDOMU(seed, 30), IDENTIFIER = iToolID1, $

COLOR = [0, 0, 255]

currentTool = IGETCURRENT()

PRINT, 'The current tool is ', currentTool

IPLOT, RANDOMU(seed, 30), IDENTIFIER = iToolID2, $

COLOR = [0, 255, 0]

currentTool = IGETCURRENT()

PRINT, 'The current tool is ', currentTool

IPLOT, RANDOMU(seed, 30), IDENTIFIER = iToolID3, $

COLOR = [255, 0, 0]

currentTool = IGETCURRENT()

PRINT, 'The current tool is ', currentTool

ISETCURRENT, iToolID1currentTool = IGETCURRENT()

PRINT, 'The current tool is ', currentTool

PRINT, 'The first tool is ', iToolID1
