The graPHIGS API: ISO PHIGS Quick Reference

About This Book

This booklet provides a quick reference for the graPHIGS API. It is intended as a supplement to the ISO PHIGS Subroutine Reference, in which the subroutines are described in detail. To help you find information quickly in the reference book, each listed subroutine includes a page reference.

Contents Note
This manual contains both a reference-by-function as well as an alphabetical-by-subroutine listing for both the C and FORTRAN bindings.
