PSPRPV(3g)  —  Subroutines

Name

PSPRPV − Sets the geometric attributes current pattern reference points 3 and current pattern reference vectors entries in the PHIGS state list. 

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

Syntax

PSPRPV (RFX, RFY, RFZ, RFVX, RFVY, RFVZ)

Argument        Data Type      Access   Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RFX, RFY,       Real           Read     Pattern reference point, in modeling
RFZ                                     coordinates
RFVX, RFVY,     Real           Read     Pattern reference vectors, in
RFVZ                                    modeling coordinates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSPRPV sets the geometric attributes current pattern reference points 3 and current pattern reference vectors entries in the PHIGS state list.  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 pattern reference point and vectors element. 

The current pattern reference point 3 attribute represents the starting point for a pattern used to fill the designated area. Digital PHIGS uses this value for all subsequent calls to fill area functions until you specify another value. When the currently selected fill area interior style is PATTERN, Digital PHIGS uses the current pattern reference vectors attribute in conjunction with the current pattern width and height vectors entry to display the fill area and fill area set output primitives. 

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

Digital PHIGS Version 3.1 does not support this function.
