PHIGURE does not include special functions for building simple graphics items such as straight segments, markers on points, text on points, etc. These functions are easily available via PHIGS. This chapter explains how to integrate calling these simple PHIGS functions in a PHIGURE program.
These simple functions are provided by the various basic PHIGS primitives, such as polyline, polymarker, text, annotate text, etc...
These are elements in PHIGS structures and may therefore only be called in the context of editing a structure (see edit structure). To use this structure in a PHIGURE program, integrate it in a scene, ensuring that the coordinates of the points defining the geometry of these primitives are compatible with the domain associated with the scene.
