Description

PSATP sets the annotation text path attribute.  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 path element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current annotation text path entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the value associated with the element. The value affects all subsequent primitives. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element.  If you change the value of the current annotation text path entry, it may make the value of the current annotation text alignment entry in the PHIGS traversal state list inappropriate.
