GENERALIZED STRUCTURE ELEMENT

PGSE


CALL SEQUENCE

CALL PGSE (GSEID, LDR, DATREC)

PHIGS STATE

(PHOP, *, STOP, *).

EFFECT

A GSE 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 GSE element. The value specified by parameters is associated with the element.

The content of the GSE element is implementation dependant.

GSE effect is described in GPHIGS user's manual for each identifier. GPHIGS provides one extension function for each GSE identifier in the extension package.

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,*)
