PSEDT(3g)  —  Subroutines

Name

PSEDT − Sets the edge type value. 

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

Syntax

 

PSEDT (EDTYPE)

Argument       Data Type      Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDTYPE         Integer        Read       Edge type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Constants

Defined Argument     Constant     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDTYPE               PLSOLI       Solid edge.  This is the default
                                  value.
                     PLDASH       Dashed edge.
                     PLDOT        Dotted edge.
                     PLDASD       Dashed-dotted edge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other, nonstandard, edge types are available.  See Constants.

Description

PSEDT sets the edge type value.  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 type element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current edge type entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  If the current edge type 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 corresponding ASF setting is BUNDLED, the value for workstation-specific information has no effect. 

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