TOPWK


CALL SEQUENCE

TOPWK (WKID, CONID, WTYPE)

INPUT PARAMETERS

INTEGER	WKID
INTEGER	CONID
INTEGER	WTYPE

ARGUMENTS

WKID
Workstation identifier.
CONID
FORTRAN logical unit number when the workstation is a file
WTYPE
Workstation type. See table below.

EFFECT

This function establishes the connection between the program and the workstation, characterized by its type WTYPE. It allocates and initializes the status table for this type of workstation.

The workstation is recognized in the application by its identifier WKID. All PHIGURE scene visualization functions are for performing workstation operations and therefore use WKID as an input parameter to identify the workstation. The workstation must be opened before any of PHIGURE's scene visualization functions can be used.

Opening the workstation ensures that the display surface is empty.

WTYPE specifies the type of driver to use. It designates either a type of workstation, or a low level graphic library used to run the workstation. The following drivers are available:
