noport()  —  Silicon Graphics Silicon Graphics

NAME

noport - specifies that a program does not require a graphport

SPECIFICATION

C
noport()

FORTRAN
subroutine noport

Pascal
procedure noport;

DESCRIPTION

noport specifies that a graphics program does not need any screen space and therefore does not need a graphport in the window manager.  This is useful for programs which only read or write the color map.  This command is called at the beginning of a graphics program; a call to getport is still needed to do a graphics initialization.  If getport is not called or if the system is not running the window manager, noport is ignored. 

SEE ALSO

getport

NOTE

This command can be used only in immediate mode.
