Syntax

PLB (LABEL)

Argument     Data Type      Access    Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LABEL        Integer        Read      Label identifier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PLB 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 PLB 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.
