PSPMI − Sets the polymarker index value that points to the workstation polymarker bundle table. 

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

Syntax

PSPMI (PMI)

Argument        Data Type     Access     Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PMI             Integer       Read       Polymarker index

Description

PSPMI sets the polymarker index value that points to the workstation polymarker 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 polymarker index element. 

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

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

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