PSATCU(3g)  —  Subroutines

Name

PSATCU − Sets the x and y components of the up vector for annotation text primitives. 

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

Syntax

PSATCU (ATCHUX, ATCHUY)

Argument        Data Type      Access   Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATCHUX          Real           Read     Annotation up vector in text local
ATCHUY                                  coordinates, whose unit size is
                                        unscaled from normalized
                                        projection coordinates.  The
                                        default value is (0.0, 1.0).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSATCU sets the x and y components of the vector that defines the up direction for annotation text primitives.  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 set annotation text character up vector element. 

The annotation text character up vector is specified in the text local coordinate system. The text local coordinate system has unit size unscaled from normalized projection coordinates. 

If the annotation text character up vector is zero length, Digital PHIGS uses the value (0,1) for the annotation text character up vector.  The value is (1,0) for the annotation text character base vector. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current annotation text character up vector entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the value specified by the parameter. Digital PHIGS sets the value of the current annotation text character base vector entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to a vector of arbitrary length, at right angles in the clockwise direction to the value specified by the parameter. 

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