FORTRAN
subroutine defbas(id, mat)
integer*4 id
real mat(4,4)

Pascal
procedure defbasis(id: integer; mat: Matrix);

DESCRIPTION

defbasis allows the user to define basis matrices for use in the generation of curves and patches.  matrix is saved and is associated with id.  id may then be  used in subsequent calls to curvebasis and patchbasis.
