PSEDI(3g)  —  Subroutines

Name

PSEDI − Specifies the edge index. 

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

Syntax

PSEDI (EDI)

Argument       Data Type      Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDI            Integer        Read       Edge index
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSEDI specifies the edge index, which points to an edge bundle table entry.  The table entry contains the edge flag, edge type, edge width scale factor, and edge color index values that are associated with this index. 

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 index element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current edge index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  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

To determine the workstation-specific, predefined edge tables, use the program phigs_predef. You can change the edge bundle table index values with the PSEDR attribute function. 

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