Name

pe_set_highl_ind − Creates or redefines the highlight index. 

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

Syntax

void pe_set_highl_ind (
  Pint    index    /∗ (I) Highlighting index ∗/
)

Description

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

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current highlight index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the value specified by the parameter.  Digital PHIGS uses this value when highlighting subsequent output primitives. 

During structure traversal, if the specified highlight index is unavailable on a workstation, Digital PHIGS uses highlight index 1. 

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