callobj(3)  —  Unix Programmer’s Manual

NAME

callobj - instantiate an object

SYNOPSIS

C
callobj(obj)
Object obj;

FORTRAN
subroutine callob(obj)
integer obj

Pascal
procedure callobj(obj: Object);

DESCRIPTION

Callobj draws an instance of an object.  Its argument is the object name.  If callobj specifies an undefined object, the command is ignored. 

Global attributes are not saved before a callobj.  Thus, if attributes like color are changed within an object, the change may affect the caller as well.  Use pushattributes and popattributes to preserve global attributes across callobj commands.
