cyclemap()  —  Silicon Graphics Beta Release

NAME

cyclemap - cycles through color maps at a selected rate

SPECIFICATION

C
cyclemap(duration, map, nextmap)
short duration, map, nextmap;

FORTRAN
subroutine cyclem(duration, map, nextmap)
integer*4 duration, map, nextmap

Pascal
procedure cyclemap(duration, map, nextmap: Short);

DESCRIPTION

cyclemap specifies a duration (in vertical retraces), a related map, and what map to change to when that duration has timed out.  For example, the following commands set up multimap mode and cycle between two maps, leaving map 1 on for ten vertical retraces and map 3 on for five retraces. 

...
multimap();
gconfig();
cyclemap(10, 1, 3);
cyclemap(5, 3, 1);
...

Note that program termination does not stop these commands; you must explicitly set all durations to 0. 

SEE ALSO

blink, multimap, gconfig

NOTE

This command can be used only in immediate mode.
