editobj(3) — Unix Programmer’s Manual
NAME
editobj - open an object for editing
SYNOPSIS
C
editobj(obj)
Object obj;
FORTRAN
subroutine editob(obj)
integer obj
Pascal
procedure editobj(obj: Object);
DESCRIPTION
Editobj opens an object for editing. A command pointer acts as a cursor for appending new commands. The command pointer is initially set to the end of the object. Graphics commands are appended to the object until either a closeobj or pointer positioning command (delete, insert, or replace) is executed. The user need not be concerned about storage allocation. Objects grow and shrink automatically as commands are added and deleted.
If editobj specifies an undefined object, an error message is printed.
SEE ALSO
delete, insert, replace
NOTE
This command can only be used in immediate mode.
