SET ANNOTATION STYLE

PSANS

CALL SEQUENCE

CALL PSANS (ASTYLE)

INPUT PARAMETERS

INTEGER ASTYLE

A integer number specifying the style of annotation text used. The Standard values are the following:

< or = to 0

Depending on the implementation .

1

Annotation text not connected to the reference point.

2

Draws a line from the annotation point to the reference point using the current polyline attributes.

PHIGS STATE

EFFECT

A SET ANNOTATION STYLE 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 ANNOTATION STYLE element. The value specified by ASTYLE is associated with the element.

When an element of this type is interpreted, the current annotation style entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is set to ASTYLE . This value is used to display the annotation text primitives which follow. The annotation style is the method used to connect the annotation text to the annotation point when annotation offset is not zero.

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,*)
