GPMSG - Message

Purpose

Use GPMSG to display a message on the specified workstation.

The message text appears in the lower left corner of the workstation viewport and is clipped to this viewport.

The message is unaffected by deferral state settings and remains displayed until removed by another message. It can be cleared by calling GPMSG with a length of zero.

The appearance (size and color) of the message text is workstation dependent. The workstation's primary character set is used to convert the text if necessary.

For workstation-specific information about message text, see information about character sets in The graPHIGS Programming Interface: Technical Reference
