These functions are used to configure any following structures built by PHIGURE. For example : the TSAXLB (STRID, ...) function may be used to specify the position of the name of a STRID axis identifier. This position is taken into account by any later calls for PHIGURE axis-building functions.
The first parameter of all these functions is the STRID identifier. However, they never modify structures. They just memorize the fact that all structures of a particular type (axis, key, pie chart, histogram, etc.) and a STRID identifier built by a PHIGURE function should have certain characteristics.
Functions of this type may be divided into 4 groups :
TSAXxx functions which configure structure building by an axis function
TSPIxx functions which configure structure building by a pie chart function
TSLIxx functions which configure structure building by an isovalue key function
TSHIxx functions which configure structure building by a histogram function
Examples :
CALL TSAXLB (STRID, ..., 'X-axis')
CALL TAXYLN (STRID, xo,yo,zo, xe, 0.0)
The STRID axis identifier is built by the TAXYLN function and labelled = X-axis. This "axis label" attribute is stored in the memory and is therefore used by any subsequent axis building function call with the identifier STRID The functions in all the above 4 groups apply in the same way.
The TQAXxx , TQPIxx , TQLIxx and TQHIxx functions make it possible for an application to recover the current options chosen to configure structure building.
