|   | ShowHandle | 
| Given a handle to an object with viewable presence, shows that object on screen | |
|  - HANDLE | Handle | 
| The object to display on screen | |
|  - BOOL | Return | 
Detailed description
This tells Flowcode to show whatever object is represented by Handle.
The types of object that are supported are:
| Handle type | Result of this call | 
|---|---|
| Component | Moves the camera in its current viewing plane over the components position If the panel (system or dashboard) the component exists on is not shown, this will open that window | 
| Position | Behaves as though a component, and moves the camera to look at that position | 
| LinkBar | Behaves as though a component, and moves the camera to look at the center of the link | 
| Point cloud | Behaves as though a component, and moves the camera to look at the center of the cloud | 
| Console | Opens the console window and selects the appropriate console tab | 
| Scope group/stream | Opens the data scope window to show the scope | 
Examples
