The control subroutines allow your application to have access to and control over the graphical resources available when using the graPHIGS API* .
Your application can open and close the graPHIGS API.
When an application opens the graPHIGS API, a nucleus, which is the collection of resources available to your application, is connected to your application. When connected, you can open, update, or close workstation resources.
Also invoke these subroutines to affect the timing of update operations and to explicitly control the update and redraw operations on a workstation.
These subroutines do not store or modify graphics data.
Purpose
Use Close PHIGS to terminate all graPHIGS API processing for this application process. This subroutine function detaches all attached resources created by the application and disconnects all nuclei connected to the application. Close PHIGS closes files and releases system resources, such as storage and locks. Close PHIGS sets the graPHIGS system state to graPHIGS Closed (PHCL). Reopen the graPHIGS API by invoking the Open PHIGS subroutine.
