Name

PSPLI − Sets the polyline index value that points to the workstation polyline bundle table. 

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

Syntax

PSPLI (PLI)

Argument        Data Type     Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLI             Integer       Read       Polyline index

Description

PSPLI sets the polyline index value that points to the workstation polyline bundle 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 polyline index element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current polyline index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  Digital PHIGS uses this value when traversing subsequent polyline and polyline 3 primitives. 

To determine the workstation-specific, predefined polyline bundle tables, run the program phigs_predef.  You can change the polyline bundle table index values with the PSPLR attribute function. 

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