DESCRIPTION

editobj opens an object for editing.  A command pointer acts as a cursor for appending new commands.  The command pointer is initially set to the end of the object.  Graphics commands are appended to the object until either a closeobj or a pointer positioning command ( objdelete, objinsert, or objreplace ) is executed.  Usually, the user need not be concerned about storage allocation.  Objects grow and shrink automatically as commands are added and deleted. 

If editobj specifies an undefined object, an error message is printed. 

SEE ALSO

compactify, objdelete, objinsert, objreplace

NOTE

This command can be used only in immediate mode.
