ginit(3G)                                                            ginit(3G)



NAME
     ginit, gbegin - create a window that occupies the entire screen

C SPECIFICATION
     void ginit()

     void gbegin()

PARAMETERS
     none

DESCRIPTION
     ginit creates a window that covers the entire screen, and initializes its
     graphics state to the same values as would a winopen followed by a
     greset.  It also sets the MOUSEX valuator to getgdesc(GDXPMAX)/2 with
     range 0 to getgdesc(GDXPMAX), and sets the MOUSEY valuator to
     getgdesc(GDYPMAX)/2 with range 0 to getgdesc(GDYPMAX)/2.  gbegin does
     the same, except it does not alter the color map.

     These routines are a carry-over from the days before there was a window
     manager.  Although they continue function, we recommend that all new
     development be designed to work with the window manager and to use
     winopen.

SEE ALSO
     greset, winopen

NOTE
     These routines are available only in immediate mode.
