Loads a name onto the name stack.
FORTRAN (libfgl.a)
void loadname(Int16 name)
SUBROUTINE LOADNA(name) INTEGER*4 name
Note: For FORTRAN users, this subroutine accepts long integer parameters (INTEGER*4) when invoked from a FORTRAN program, although it accepts short integers when invoked from a C program. The C and FORTRAN syntax shown here reflect this difference.
The loadname subroutine replaces the top name in the name stack with a new 16-bit integer.
If a hit has occurred since the last time the name stack was touched, the system stores the contents of the name stack in a buffer. This enables the user to identify the part of an image that appears near the cursor.
The name stack is used only in picking or selecting mode.
| name | Specifies the name to be loaded onto the name stack. |
The example C language program pick1.c calls the loadname subroutine to place a name on the top of the name stack.
This subroutine is part of GL in the AIXwindows Environment/6000 Version 1, Release 2 with AIXwindows/3D Feature.
| /usr/include/gl/gl.h | Contains C language constant and variable type definitions for GL. |
| /usr/include/gl/fgl.h | Contains FORTRAN constant and variable type definitions for GL. |
Putting the system in selecting mode with the gselect subroutine.
Initializing the name stack with the initnames subroutine.
Putting the system in picking mode with the pick subroutine.
Popping a name off the name stack with the popname subroutine.
Pushing a new name onto the name stack with the pushname subroutine.
