<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a mesh file and want to visualize only selected entities in gmsh. In the GUI, I can dio that using Tools->Visibiliy and selecting the entities I want to see.

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Merge "Myfile.msh";</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hide "*";</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Show { Surface {10}; }</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now the problem is that Surface 10 is not shown, whereas when I write</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Merge "Myfile.msh";</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hide { Surface {10,12}; }</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Show { Surface {10}; }</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">surface 12 is hidden, and surface 10 is shown, as well as all the other surfaces in the file. If I want to see only surface 10 that way, I would have to list all other surfaces in the Hide command.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there another way to hide all entities except one?</FONT>
