rpmv(3G)

NAME
     rpmv, rpmvi, rpmvs, rpmv2, rpmv2i, rpmv2s - relative polygon move

FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
     subroutine rpmv(dx, dy, dz)
     real dx, dy, dz

     subroutine rpmvi(dx, dy, dz)
     integer*4 dx, dy, dz

     subroutine rpmvs(dx, dy, dz)
     integer*2 dx, dy, dz

     subroutine rpmv2(dx, dy)
     real dx, dy

     subroutine rpmv2i(dx, dy)
     integer*4 dx, dy

     subroutine rpmv2s(dx, dy)
     integer*2 dx, dy

     All of the above routines are functionally the same.  They differ only in
     the type declarations of their parameters and in whether they assume a
     two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.

PARAMETERS
     dx   expects the distance from the x coordinate of the current graphics
          position to the x coordinate of the first point in a polygon.

     dy   expects the distance from the y coordinate of the current graphics
          position to the y coordinate of the first point in a polygon.

     dz   expects the distance from the z coordinate of the current graphics
          position to the z coordinate of the first point in a polygon.

DESCRIPTION
     rpmv is the relative version of pmv.  It specifies a relative move to the
     starting point of a filled polygon, using the current graphics position
     as the origin.  rpmv updates the current graphics position to the new
     point.

     Between rpmv and pclos, you can issue only the following Graphics Library
     subroutines:  color, RGBcol, c, cpack, n, v, lmdef, and lmbind.  Use
     lmdef and lmbind to respecify only materials and their properties.

SEE ALSO
     bgnpol, endpol, pclos, rpdr, v
NOTES
     rpmv should not be used in new development.  Rather, polygons should be
     drawn using the high-performance v commands, surrounded by calls to
     bgnpol and endpol.  Matrix commands pushma, transl, and popmat should be
     used to accomplish relative positioning.

     There can be no more than 256 vertices in a polygon.  Therefore, there
     can be no more than 255 rpdr calls between rpmv and pclos.
