objreplace()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

objreplace − overwrites existing display list routines with new ones

SPECIFICATION

C
objreplace(t)
Tag t;

FORTRAN
subroutine objrep(t)
integer*4 t

Pascal
procedure objreplace(t: Tag);

DESCRIPTION

objreplace combines the functions of objinsert and objdelete.  It takes a single argument, tag t.  Graphics routines that follow objreplace overwrite existing ones until closeobj, objinsert, objdelete, or objreplace terminates the replacement. 

objreplace requires the new routine be the same length as the one it replaces; this makes replacement operations fast.  Use objdelete and objinsert for more general replacement. 

Use objreplace as a quick method to create a new version of a routine.

NOTE

This routine is available only in immediate mode.
