Mode

Mode(window, mode)
This function switches Xic between physical and electrical modes, or switches subwindows between the two viewing modes. The first argument is an integer 0-4, where 0 represents the main window, in which case the application mode is set, and 1-4 represent the subwindows, in which case the viewing mode of that subwindow is set. The subwindow number is the same number as shown in the window title bar. The second argument is 0 for physical mode, nonzero for electrical mode. The return value is the new mode setting (0 or 1) or -1 if the indicated subwindow is not active.

(int) CurMode(window)
This function returns the current mode (physical or electrical) of the main window or subwindows. The argument is an integer 0-4 where 0 represents the main window (and the application mode) and 1-4 represent subwindow viewing modes. The return value is 0 for physical mode, 1 for electrical mode, or -1 if the indicated subwindow does not exist. This function is identical to GetWindowMode.
