        if(gp.LT_set_var("layer.height", vv))
        out_str("set layer's height in LabTalk succeeded");
    else
        out_str("set layer's height in LabTalk failed");
 
    gp.LT_get_var("layer.height", &vv);

Remark

It sets the value of a LabTalk variable. The Layer Object is only temporarily set as the active layer. The Layer that was active before the code executes is restored as active upon return.
