NAME

ginit − initializes the IRIS

SPECIFICATION

C
ginit()

FORTRAN
subroutine ginit

Pascal
procedure ginit;

DESCRIPTION

ginit is the first routine in every IRIS graphics program when you are not running the window manager.  It initializes the hardware, allocates memory for symbol tables and display lists, and sets up default values for global state variables (as greset does).  It has no arguments.  Call ginit once, before any other IRIS Graphics Library routine. 

Do not use ginit in the window manager; use winopen instead.

This routine is available only in immediate mode.
