DESCRIPTION

Objects are created with the makeobj command.  makeobj takes an argument, a 31-bit integer name, that will be associated with the object.  If an object with the given name previously existed, that object is deleted.  When a makeobj command is executed, the object name is entered into a symbol table and memory is allocated for a display list.  Subsequent graphics commands are compiled into the display list instead of being executed.

NOTE

This command can be used only in immediate mode.
