DSPHR(3g)  —  Subroutines

Name

DSPHR − Generates a sphere. 

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

Syntax

DSPHR (PX, PY, PZ, RADIUS)

Argument        Data Type     Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PX, PY, PZ      Real          Read       Center of the sphere, in modeling
                                         coordinates
RADIUS          Real          Read       Radius of the sphere, in modeling
                                         coordinates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

DSPHR generates a sphere.  The sphere is drawn in the plane z = n, where n is PZ.  The sphere local coordinate system is the xy-plane as defined in the modeling coordinate system. 

Depending on the current 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 sphere element. 

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

Digital PHIGS Version 3.1 does not support this function.
