} Ptext_path;

PHIGS STATE

EFFECT

A SET TEXT PATH 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 SET TEXT PATH element. The value specified by path is associated with the element.

When an element of this type is interpreted, the current text path entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is set to path. This value is used to display the text primitives which follow.

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,*)
