Description

PSANS sets the annotation text style Digital PHIGS uses for annotation text primitives.  Depending on the edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the element pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer.  The pointer then points to the new set annotation style element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current annotation style entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the value specified by the element.  If the workstation does not have the specified annotation style, Digital PHIGS uses annotation style 1. 

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