     NAME

          makeobj - creates an object


     SPECIFICATION

          C         makeobj(obj)

                    Object obj;




          FORTRAN   subroutine makeob(obj)

                    integer*4 obj


     DESCRIPTION

          makeobj creates a graphics object.  makeobj takes one

          argument, a 31-bit integer that is associated with the

          object.  If obj is the number of an existing object, the

          contents of that object are deleted.


          When makeobj executes, the object number is entered into a

          symbol table and memory is allocated for a display list.

          Subsequent graphics routines are compiled into the display

          list instead of executing.
