SPECIFICATION

C
makeobj(obj)
Object obj;

FORTRAN
subroutine makeob(obj)
integer*4 obj

Pascal
procedure makeobj(obj: Object);

DESCRIPTION

makeobj creates a graphics object.  makeobj takes one argument, a 31-bit integer that is associated with the object.  If obj is the number of an existing object, the contents of that object are deleted. 

When makeobj executes, the object number is entered into a symbol table and memory is allocated for a display list.  Subsequent graphics routines are compiled into the display list instead of executing.
