makeobj(3)  —  Unix Programmer’s Manual

NAME

makeobj - create an object

SYNOPSIS

C
makeobj(obj)
Object obj;

FORTRAN
subroutine makeob(obj)
integer obj

Pascal
procedure makeobj(obj: Object);

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. 

SEE ALSO

callobj, closeobj, genobj, isobj

NOTE

This command can only be used in immediate mode.
