endpick()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

endpick - turns off picking mode

SPECIFICATION

C
long endpick(buffer)
short buffer[];

FORTRAN
integer*4 function endpic(buffer)
integer*2 buffer(*)

Pascal
function endpick(var buffer: Short): longint;

DESCRIPTION

endpick takes the IRIS out of picking mode.  When a drawing command draws into the picking region, the contents of the name stack are stored in buffer along with the number of names in the stack.  Thus, if the name stack contained 5, 9, 17 when a hit occurred, the numbers 3, 5, 9, 17 are added to the buffer.  The magnitude of the value returned by endpick is the number of such name lists in the buffer.  If the value returned is positive, then all hits are recorded in the name lists, if it is negative, the buffer was not large enough to hold them all.

NOTE

This command can be used only in immediate mode.
