Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     foregr - prevents a graphical process from being put into the background

FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
     subroutine foregr

PARAMETERS
     none

DESCRIPTION
     winope normally runs a process in the background.  Call foregr before
     calling winope.  It keeps the process in the foreground, so that you can
     interact with it from the keyboard.  When the process is in the
     foreground, it interacts in the usual way with the IRIX input/output
     routines.

SEE ALSO
     winope

NOTES
     This routine is available only in immediate mode.

     If you want to use dbx or edge to debug graphics programs, foreground
     must be called before any calls to winopen.
