gbegin(3G) gbegin(3G)
NAME
gbegin - initializes the system without altering the color
map
SPECIFICATION
C gbegin()
FORTRAN subroutine gbegin
DESCRIPTION
gbegin initializes the graphics environment for the calling
program as ginit does, however, gbegin does not change the
color map. This is useful under the window manager because
it does not interfere with other programs that use the
current color map. gbegin also does not call setcursor.
In the current product, it is preferable to use winopen for
initialization functions.
SEE ALSO
