This function stores these parameters in the workstation state list of the workstation associated with the specified device. The specified \fBdevice must be in \s-2REQUEST\s+2 mode\fP when this function is called. .SS C Input Parameters .IP \fIws\fP The workstation identifier of the workstation associated with the device. .IP \fIdev\fP The device number of the \s-2STROKE\s+2 device to initialize. See the \fIAVAILABLE DEVICES\fP section below for a description of the available devices. .IP \fIinit_view_ind\fP The index of the view representation in the workstation's view table to use to map the specified initial positions from World Coordinates (\s-2WC\s+2) to Normalized Projection Coordinates (\s-2NPC\s+2). .IP \fIinit_stroke\fP A pointer to a Ppoint_list structure containing the initial stroke. The Ppoint_list structure is defined in phigs.h as follows: .sp .4 .ta .5i +\w'Ppoint 'u +\w'view_index; 'u .nf typedef struct { .sp .2 Pint num_points; Ppoint *points; .sp .2 } Ppoint_list; .fi .IP \fInum_points\fP is the number of points in the initial stroke.

Ppoint is defined in phigs.h as follows: .sp .4 .ta .5i +1i +1i .nf typedef struct { .sp .2 Pfloat x; /* x coordinate */ Pfloat y; /* y coordinate */ .sp .2 } Ppoint; .fi .IP \fIpet\fP The prompt/echo type desired.

The \fIz\fP component in the workstation state list is left unchanged. Plimit is defined in phigs.h as follows: .sp .4 .ta .5i +1i +1i 'u .nf typedef struct { .sp .2 Pfloat x_min; /* minimum x coordinate value */ Pfloat x_max; /* maximum x coordinate value */ Pfloat y_min; /* minimum y coordinate value */ Pfloat y_max; /* maximum y coordinate value */ .sp .2 } Plimit; .fi .IP \fIrecord\fP A pointer to a Pstroke_data structure containing the data record information. The contents of the data record for each device and prompt/echo type are described below in the \fIAVAILABLE DEVICES\fP section. Pstroke_data is defined in phigs.h as: .IP Some fields of the record correspond to the prompt/echo type being used. .sp .4 .ta .5i +.75i +.5i +1i +1i .nf typedef struct { .sp .2 Pint buffer_size; /* input buffer size */ Pint init_pos; /* initial editing position */ Pfloat x_interval; /* x interval */ Pfloat y_interval; /* y interval */ Pfloat time_interval; /* time interval */ union { struct { Pint unused; } pet_r1; struct { Pint unused; } pet_r2; struct { Pmarker_attrs marker_attrs; /* marker attributes */ } pet_r3; struct { Pline_attrs line_attrs; /* line attributes */ } pet_r4; } pets; .sp .2 } Pstroke_data; .fi .SS Execution .LP \s-2INITIALIZE STROKE\s+2 sets the initialization parameters of a \s-2STROKE\s+2 device. This function stores these parameters in the workstation state list of the workstation associated with the specified device. The specified device must be in \s-2REQUEST\s+2 mode when this function is called. .LP The parameters that are initialized by this function are \fIinitial stroke\fP, \fIprompt/echo type\fP, \fIecho volume\fP, and \fIinput data record\fP. .LP The \fIinitial stroke\fP is the logical input value the device will be set to whenever it is enabled. The device's measure will retain this value until operator input changes it. A device is enabled when the appropriate \s-2REQUEST\s+2 function is called, or when its input mode is set to \s-2SAMPLE\s+2 or \s-2EVENT\s+2. .LP A \s-2STROKE\s+2 device measure consists of \fIpoints\fP and a \fIview index\fP. The \fIpoints\fP are World Coordinate (\s-2WC\s+2) points corresponding to the positions on the workstation selected by the operator. The \fIview index\fP is the index of the view representation used to transform the stroke positions from Normalized Projection Coordinates (\s-2NPC\s+2) to \s-2WC\s+2. This view representation is determined by selecting the highest priority representation that contains all the stroke positions within its \s-2NPC\s+2 limits. See \s-2SET VIEW TRANSFORMATION INPUT PRIORITY\s+2 for more information. The workstation transform is used to transform the operator-selected positions from Device Coordinates (\s-2DC\s+2) to \s-2NPC\s+2. .LP The initial stroke points are transformed to \s-2DC\s+2 by applying the view orientation and view mapping transforms of the specified view representation, and then applying the workstation transformation. If the view index is invalid, an error is generated. .LP The \fIprompt/echo type\fP determines how the device will be presented to the operator and respond to his actions. Each device supports one or more prompt/echo types. Those supported by each device are listed in the device's description in the \fIAVAILABLE DEVICES\fP section below. All devices support prompt/echo type 1. Positive prompt/echo types are defined by the \s-2PHIGS\s+2 standard. Negative types are implementation-dependent. .LP The \fIecho volume\fP defines the region of the display surface in which to echo the device. It is specified in \s-2DC\s+2. Devices that use the echo volume may restrict their display to this region. Some of these devices may still recognize operator input outside the region even though they do not display there. This function specifies only the \fIx\fP and \fIy\fP components of the echo volume. The existing \fIz\fP component in the workstation state list is left unchanged. .LP The \fIinput data record\fP contains the prompt/echo type specific information that controls the device's appearance and characteristics. Not all of the data record contents are used by some devices. The device descriptions in the \fIAVAILABLE DEVICES\fP section below list the data record contents that each device recognizes. .LP Stroke devices contain a buffer in which to store the points selected by the operator. Points are added to the buffer starting at the edit position. Both the buffer size and the edit position are specified in the input data record. .LP All the initialization parameters must be specified properly, or this function will generate an error. The \s-2\fIERRORS\fP\s+2 section below lists the possible error conditions. .LP The default initialization parameters and the list of prompt/echo types supported by a \s-2STROKE\s+2 input device can be inquired with the function \s-2INQUIRE DEFAULT STROKE DEVICE DATA\s+2. The current state of the device can be inquired with the function \s-2INQUIRE STROKE DEVICE STATE\s+2. .SH AVAILABLE DEVICES .SS Device 1 - "Pointer device" .LP This device is associated with the X pointer device. The stroke points in the \s-2STROKE\s+2 device's measure are the \s-2WC\s+2 points corresponding to the positions specified in an operator-generated series of X pointer events. The operator adds points to the buffer by positioning the cursor to the desired location and depressing the left pointer button. Once all the desired points are selected, the operator presses both the shift key and the left mouse button at the same time. This triggers the stroke. Points can be removed from the buffer by pressing the \s-2CONTROL\s+2 key and pointer button simultaneously. Only points after the \fIedit position\fP can be removed in this way. .LP \fBPrompt/echo types supported\fP: 1 .IP "PET 1" .8i Display the stroke points by drawing a marker at each stroke position. The marker used is of marker type 3 (asterisk), size 1.0, and uses colour index 1. .LP This device uses the \fIbuffer_size\fP and \fIinit_pos\fP fields of the stroke data record, Pstroke_data. .sp .2 .RE .SH ERRORS .IP 003 Ignoring function, function requires state (\s-2PHOP\s+2, \s-2WSOP\s+2, \s-2*\s+2, \s-2*\s+2) .IP 054 Ignoring function, the specified workstation is not open .IP 061 Ignoring function, specified workstation is neither of category \s-2INPUT\s+2 nor of category \s-2OUTIN\s+2 .IP 250 Ignoring function, the specified device is not available on the specified workstation .IP 251 Ignoring function, the function requires the input device to be in \s-2REQUEST\s+2 mode .IP 253 Warning, the specified prompt/echo type is not available on the specified workstation.
