SET TEXT INDEX

PSTXI

CALL SEQUENCE

CALL PSTXI (TXI)

INPUT PARAMETERS

INTEGER TXI

Text index.

PHIGS STATE

EFFECT

A SET TEXT INDEX 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 INDEX element. The value specified by TXI is associated with the element.

When an element of this type is interpreted, the current text index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list is set to the specified value. 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,*)

100

Ignoring function, the bundle index value is less than one
