Description

Returns a list of duplicate elements as a list of lists. The duplicate elements are determined per theoptions argument. The format of the returned values is a list of lists, sorted from lowest to highest ID. Each list corresponds to the duplicate elements at that “location”. For example, if element 1 is a duplicate with elements 2 and 3, and element 4 is a duplicate with elements 5, 6 and 7, the return would be a list of length 2, with each sub-list containing the duplicates:

{1 2 3} {4 5 6 7}

Inputs

input_mark_id: The ID of the mark of elements to consider. Only elements on this mark will be considered for use in finding duplicates. Valid values are 1 and 2.
output_mark_id: The ID of the mark to put duplicate elements on. Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. If set to 0, the output mark is not used.
options: Currently unsupported. Must be set to 0.

Example

To find duplicates for the displayed elements and put all of them on mark 2:

*createmark elems 1 displayed
set duplicates [hm_getduplicateelements 1 2 0]

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
