GPECI - Set Edge Color Index

Purpose

Use GPECI to insert a Set Edge Color Index structure element into the open structure following the element pointer or to replace the element pointed at by the element pointer with a Set Edge Color Index structure element depending on the current edit mode.

This structure element specifies an entry in the workstation's rendering color table that defines the color the graPHIGS API uses to render the edges of all output primitives to which this attribute applies. At structure traversal time, the graPHIGS API uses this index to render the edges of output primitives when the edge color aspect source flag is set to 2=INDIVIDUAL and the edge flag is set to 2=ON

This attribute sets the same traversal state as the Set Edge Color Direct (GPECD) subroutine. The traversal default for edge color is a color index value of 1.

If the workstation does not support the specified color index value or the specified index is outside the color table limit, then the color index defaults to a value of 1.
