patchprecision(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

patchprecision − sets the precision at which curves are drawn

SPECIFICATION

C
patchprecision(usegments, vsegments)
long usegments, vsegments;

FORTRAN
subroutine patchp(usegments, vsegments)
integer*4 usegments, vsegments

Pascal
procedure patchprecision(usegments, vsegments:
longint);

DESCRIPTION

patchprecision sets the precision with which the system draws curves that make up a wireframe patch.  The u and v directions for a patch specify the precisions independently.  Patch precisions are similar to curve precisions—they specify the minimum number of line segments used to draw a patch.
