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

NAME
     maketag - numbers a routine in the display list

C SPECIFICATION
     void maketag(t)
     Tag t;

PARAMETERS
     t   expects a numeric identifier, or tag, which the system places between
         two list items.  A tag locates display list items for editing.

DESCRIPTION
     maketag places markers that identify specific locations of drawing
     routines within an object definition.  To do this, specify a 31-bit
     number (t) with maketag.  The system assigns this number to the next
     routine in the display list. A tag is specific only to the object in
     which you use it. Consequently, you can use the same 31-bit number in
     different objects without confusion.
