STRUCTURE CREATION FLAGS

TSEMST

CALL SEQUENCE

TSEMST (STMOD,INADS)

INPUT PARAMETERS

INTEGER	STMOD
INTEGER	INADS

ARGUMENTS

STMOD

Creation mode for structures created after calling TSEMST.

PON

1 Structures are emptied before inserting elements.

POFF

0 Structures are not emptied, and new elements are inserted after the last element of each structure.

INADS

Name set insertion flag.

PON

1 A name set equal to STRID is inserted at the beginning of a structure created by PHIGURE and whose identifier is STRID.

POFF

0 No name set is inserted when structures are created by PHIGURE.

EFFECT

1) According to the value of STMOD, structures will either be emptied and recreated, or new elements will be added to them at the end of the structure.

WARNING: Functions concerning axes and pie charts are an exception to this rule - these structures are routinely emptied before inserting elements.

"Empty structure" mode is the default mode when PHIGURE is opened by TOPPH.

2) Depending on the value of the flag INADS, an add name to set element may be inserted at the beginning of any structure created by PHIGURE. If it is inserted, the value of the name set will be STRID when PHIGURE creates a structure whose identifier is STRID. Refer to the section entitled "Structure Visibility and Detectability" to understand why it is useful to insert this element in a structure - refer to the GPHIGS reference manual for an explanation of name sets.

WARNING: the element name set is not inserted if STMOD = POFF.

Name set insertion is the default mode when PHIGURE is opened by TOPPH.
