Description

PSEDCI creates or redefines an edge color index, which points to an entry in the workstation color table.  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 edge color index element. 

The set edge color index element has the following effects during structure traversal:

•Digital PHIGS sets the current edge color index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  If the corresponding current edge color index ASF entry is INDIVIDUAL, Digital PHIGS uses this value during the subsequent traversal of the following primitives:

•Fill area set

•Fill area set 3

•Fill area set with data

•Quadrilateral mesh with data

•Set of fill area set with data

•Triangle set with data

•Triangle strip with data

If the ASF value is BUNDLED, this function has no effect on primitives created subsequent to the call. 

•Digital PHIGS uses index value 1 if the requested edge color index is not available on the workstation. 

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