DESCRIPTION

INPUT PARAMETER

fildes
is an integer file descriptor returned by gopen when the I/O path to a graphic device is opened. 
ordinal
is the logical device number ranging from 1 to the number of devices of the locator class.
x,y,z
define the new x, y and z Virtual Device Coordinate values of the locator device.

DISCUSSION

Set the value of the locator device specified by fildes and ordinal.  For a relative position device, such as a mouse, this call sets it’s current location.  For an absolute device, such as a tablet, the location is also set, but is then reset by the device to the current location of the tablet’s pen.
