Adds the objects in the argument list to the display list so that they will appear on the MGED display. This is a synonym for the draw command; see that entry for a full list of options. The -Coption provides the user a way to specify a color that overrides all other color specifications including combination colors and region-id-based colors. The -A and -o options allow the user to select objects by attribute. The -s specifies that subtracted and intersected objects should be drawn with solid lines rather than dot-dash lines.
The following examples show the use of the e command to draw particular objects, to specify color, to draw with shape lines rather than dot-dash lines, and to limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.
Example 1. Draw specific objects in the MGED display.

Example 2. Limit the objects to be drawn to those having specific attribute names and value pairs.

e -A -o Comment {First comment} Comment {Second comment}
