Syntax

PSPKID (PKID)

Argument        Data Type     Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PKID            Integer       Read       Pick identifier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSPKID defines the pick identifier value (an integer).  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 pick identifier element. 

During traversal, Digital PHIGS assigns the currently defined pick identifier to subsequently generated primitives until it encounters either a redefinition of the pick identifier or the end of the structure.  Defining pick identifiers allows you another level of naming sections of primitives within or across structures. 

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