NAME

defbasis − defines a basis matrix

SPECIFICATION

C
defbasis(id, mat)
long id;
Matrix mat;

FORTRAN
subroutine defbas(id, mat)
integer*4 id
real mat(4,4)

Pascal
procedure defbasis(id: Short; var mat: Matrix);

DESCRIPTION

defbasis defines basis matrices to generate curves and patches.  matrix is saved and is associated with id.  Use id in subsequent calls to curvebasis and patchbasis. 

When using multiple windows, patterns, cursors, and fonts are available to all windows.
