ListStringPairs
If the argument is a specific mode name,
returns a string containing the current setting
for that mode.
If the argument is
"ALL"
, returns a list of
string pairs containing the settings of all the
modes. If you want to restore the mode
settings later, you must store the
getMode("ALL")
result in a variable, and then
use
setMode()
to restore the modes.
For a listing of mode names and possible
settings, see
setMode()
.
Note: To set or return information about the
Unit System
mode, use
setUnits()
or
getUnits()
instead of
setMode()
or
getMode()
.
