GPCEDT - Conditional Editing

Purpose

Use GPCEDT to begin and end conditional structure editing in the current open structure.

Once conditional editing begins, all affected structure operation subroutine calls (i.e., all structure store subroutine calls except for inquiry subroutines and those subroutines which do not require an open structure) are performed as usual until either the conditional editing is ended or your application closes the structure or until an error occurs (except for errors caused by inserting or replacing structure elements) When an error occurs while conditional editing is active, the graPHIGS API ignores all subsequent editing operations until either the conditional editing is ended or your application closes the structure store.

Structure operations that temporarily close an open structure, such as the Delete Structure (GPDLST) subroutine, do not affect the conditional editing mode.
