INQUIRE WORKSTATION STATE TABLE LENGTHS(3P)  —  Kubota Pacfic Computer Inc. (29 February 1991)

NAME

INQUIRE WORKSTATION STATE TABLE LENGTHS − inquire the lengths of the workstation state tables for a specified workstation type

SYNOPSIS

C Syntax

void
pinq_ws_st_table ( type, error_ind, lengths )
Pinttype;workstation type
Pint∗error_ind;OUT error indicator
Pws_st_tables∗lengths; OUT lengths of workstation tables

Required PHIGS Operating States

(PHOP, ∗, ∗, ∗)

DESCRIPTION

Purpose

Use INQUIRE WORKSTATION STATE TABLE LENGTHS to determine the lengths of the state tables of a specified workstation type. 

C Input Parameters

type
Type of workstation.

C Output Parameters

error_ind
A pointer to the location to store the error number of any error detected by this function.

lengths
A pointer to a Pws_st_tables data structure which returns the length of the workstation state tables. Pws_st_tables is defined in phigs.h as:

typedef struct {
Pintline_bundles;/∗ polyline tables ∗/
Pintmark_bundles;/∗ polymarker tables ∗/
Pinttext_bundles;/∗ text tables ∗/
Pintint_bundles;/∗ interior tables ∗/
Pintedge_bundles;/∗ edge tables ∗/
Pintpat_reps;/∗ pattern tables ∗/
Pintcolr_reps;/∗ colour tables ∗/
Pintview_reps;   /∗ view tables ∗/
} Pws_st_tables;

Execution

If the inquired information is available, the error indicator is returned as zero and values are returned in the output parameters. 

If the inquired information is not available, the values returned in the output parameters are undefined and the error indicator is set to one of the below error numbers to indicate the reason for nonavailability. 

Since this is an inquiry function, ERROR HANDLING is not invoked when an error is detected by this function. 

ERRORS

002Ignoring function, function requires state (PHOP, ∗, ∗, ∗)

051Ignoring function, this information is not yet available for this workstation type; open a workstation of this type and use the specific workstation type

052Ignoring function, workstation type not recognized by the implementation

059Ignoring function, the specified workstation does not have output capability (i.e., the workstation category is neither OUTPUT, OUTIN, nor MO)

062Ignoring function, this information is not available for this MO workstation type
