plabel(3g)  —  Subroutines

 

Name

plabel − Specifies a label identifier. 

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

Syntax

void plabel (
  Pint    label_id   /∗ (I) Label identifier ∗/
)

Description

plabel specifies a label identifier.  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 label element. 

The plabel function creates a label structure element with the value of the specified identifier. This label identifier can be subsequently used as a placeholder to facilitate structure editing.  It is ignored during structure traversal. 

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