DESCRIPTION

editobj opens an object for editing.  A pointer acts as a cursor that appends new routines.  The pointer is initially set to the end of the object.  The IRIS appends graphics routines to the object until either a closeobj or a pointer positioning routine (objdelete, objinsert, or objreplace) executes.  Usually, the user need not be concerned about storage allocation.  Objects grow and shrink automatically as routines are added and deleted. 

If editobj specifies an undefined object, the system displays an error message.
