Operating States: PHOP, ∗, STOP, ∗
Digital PHIGS extension function
Creates a structure element
 

Syntax

DSPHI (HI)

Argument        Data Type     Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HI              Integer       Read       Highlight index for pick echoing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

DSPHI specifies a value for the highlighting index used in pick echoing.  During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the index to the value indicated. 

Depending on the edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer.  The pointer then points to the new set pick highlight index element. 

PHIGS uses the current highlighting index entry from the PHIGS traversal state list during structure traversal. PHIGS uses this value when highlighting subsequent output primitives. 

PHIGS uses highlight index 1 if the specified highlight index is unavailable at the workstation during structure traversal. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element.
