CALL SEQUENCE

void pset_text_prec(

Ptext_prec	precision	/* text precision 	*/

)

TYPES

typedef enum {

	PPREC_CHAR,
	PPREC_STROKE
} Ptext_prec;

PHIGS STATE

EFFECT

A SET TEXT PRECISION 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 PRECISION element. The value specified by precision is associated with the element.

When an element of this type is interpreted, the current text precision entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is set to precision. This value is used to display the text primitives which follow when the current text precision ASF entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is INDIVIDUAL. When the value is BUNDLED, precision has no effect.

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,*)
