     winopen(3G)                                           winopen(3G)



     NAME

          winopen - creates a graphics window


     SPECIFICATION

          C         long winopen(name)

                    char name[];




          FORTRAN   integer*4 function winope(name,length)

                    character*(*) name

                    integer*4 length


     DESCRIPTION

          winopen creates a graphics window. Before calling winopen,

          the characteristics of the graphics window must be specified

          by minsize , maxsize , keepaspect , prefsize , prefposition

          , stepunit , fudge , and foreground . This will initialize

          graphics the first time it is called in a program.


          winopen returns a small integer value (gid) identifying the

          graphics window or -1 if no additional graphics windows are

          available.  The new window inherits the current graphics

          window's state and replaces it as the current window.  If no

          window characteristics are specified or the description is

          incomplete, the window manager prompts the user for the

          missing information.  Use the cursor to show the size and

          location of the graphics window.


          In FORTRAN, there is an extra argument, length, which is the

          number of characters in the name string.


          winopen queues the pseudo devices INPUTCHANGE and REDRAW.
