Creates an object (display list).
FORTRAN (libfgl.a)
void makeobj(Int32 object)
SUBROUTINE MAKEOB(object) INTEGER*4 object
The makeobj subroutine creates and names a new display list (object). If the object parameter is the number of an existing object, the contents of that object are deleted.
When the makeobj subroutine executes, the object number is entered into a symbol table and memory is allocated for a display list. Subsequent graphics routines are then compiled into the display list instead of executing. Compilation continues until the closeobj subroutine is called.
Notes:
- This editing subroutine itself cannot be added to a display list.
- The makeobj subroutine cannot be called within an object; that is, an existing object cannot be used to create a new object.
| object | Specifies the numeric identifier for the object being defined. |
The example C language program depthcue.c uses the makeobj subroutine to specify the beginning of a display list defining a graphical object.
This subroutine is part of GL in the AIXwindows Environment/6000 Version 1, Release 2 with AIXwindows/3D Feature.
