Example Creates a getter function called getlevel:
getlevel = makegetter(smua.source, "levelv")
...
v = getlevel()
When getlevel is called, it returns the value of smua.source.levelv.
makesetter
Function Creates a function to set the value of an attribute.
Usage
setter = makesetter(table, attributename)
table Read-only table were the attribute is located.
attributename The string name of the attribute.
setter Function that sets the value of the given attribute.
Remarks
• This function creates a function that when called sets the value of the attribute. This
function is useful for aliasing attributes to improve execution speed. Calling the
setter function will execute faster than accessing the attribute directly.
• Creating a setter function is only useful if it is going to be called several times.
Otherwise the overhead of creating the setter function outweighs the overhead of
accessing the attribute directly.
Example Creates a setter function called setlevel:
setlevel = makesetter(smua.source, "levelv")
for v = 1, 10 do
setlevel(v)
end
Using setlevel in the loop sets the value of smua.source.levelv, thereby
performing a source sweep.
