PHIGS STATE

EFFECT

APPLICATION DATA stores data specific to the application in the open structure.

An APPLICATION DATA element is inserted in the open structure after element pointer or replaces the element indicated by element pointer, depending on edit mode. Element pointer then points to the APPLICATION DATA element. The value specified by data is associated with the element.

This type of element is not interpreted during traversal.

EXTENSION TO THE PHIGS STANDARD

If GPHIGS is in NRS mode, the effect of this function is different from the effect described in the standard.

In NRS mode, (see OPEN PIPE), the element is not stored in a structure. It is sent to the workstation on which the pipe is opened.

ERRORS

5

Ignoring function, function requires state (PHOP,*, STOP,*)
