currently

mxOption(m1, key="Number of Threads")

and

mxOption(m1)

Both fail (no value, no key errors, respectively)

It would be nice if asking for a key returned its value, and asking about a model returned the currently active options

The current way to get Options is


model@options # show the model options
options()$mxOptions # list all mxOptions (global settings)

These are given on the help page for mxOption. The same place you'd go to set the options, tells you how to get them.

Yeah, that's a common user interface idiom. SVN 3386
