The graPHIGS Programming Interface: ISO PHIGS Subroutine Reference

About this book

This is a reference manual which contains the information you need to code your ISO PHIGS calls and to declare variables correctly. The concepts and techniques employed in graphics programming are described in The graPHIGS Programming Interface: Understanding Concepts. Specific information about device support capabilities, such as prompt/echo types for input devices, is provided in The graPHIGS Programming Interface: Technical Reference.

Each subroutine listed in this manual has information about error codes and functional relations to help you identify more readily the source of errors resulting from data and program flow. Each subroutine description explains the result of the subroutine call and a list of the ISO PHIGS standard errors associated with the subroutine. For information about errors and error processing see Chapter 21. Implementation Errors and graPHIGS API Messages for ISO PHIGS-Defined Errors. In addition to the listed errors, language binding errors and implementation errors may also be possible.

This manual should be used in conjunction with the other books in the graPHIGS API library following:
