cyclemap()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

cyclemap − cycles through color maps at a selected rate

SPECIFICATION

C
cyclemap(duration, map, nextmap)
short duration, map, nextmap;

FORTRAN
subroutine cyclem(duration, map, nextmap)
integer*4 duration, map, nextmap

Pascal
procedure cyclemap(duration, map, nextmap: Scoord);

DESCRIPTION

cyclemap specifies the duration in vertical retraces, the effected map (map), and the map to change to (nextmap) when the duration is over.  For example, the following routines set up multimap mode and cycle between two maps, leaving map 1 on for ten vertical retraces and map 3 on for five retraces. 

...
multimap();
gconfig();
cyclemap(10, 1, 3);
cyclemap(5, 3, 1);
...

To stop these routines, you must explicitly set all durations to zero (0).

NOTE

This routine is available only in immediate mode.
