fullscrn()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

fullscrn - enables the entire screen for writing under the window manager

SPECIFICATION

C
fullscrn()

FORTRAN
subroutine fullsc()

Pascal
procedure fullscrn;

DESCRIPTION

fullscrn enables the entire screen for writing while in the window manager.  It makes the calls

scrmask(0,XMAXSCREEN,0,YMAXSCREEN);
viewport(0,XMAXSCREEN,0,YMAXSCREEN);

and sets up the default ortho as defined by ginit.  The scrmask and viewport are issued with respect to the physical screen origin, not the origin of the graphics port. This command eliminates all protections designed to prevent graphics processes from scribbling on each other.  It should be used with caution or a sense of humor.
