rpmv(3G)rpmv(3G)NAME
rpmv, rpmvi, rpmvs, rpmv2, rpmv2i, rpmv2s - relative polygon move
C SPECIFICATION
void rpmv(dx, dy, dz)
Coord dx, dy, dz;
void rpmvi(dx, dy, dz)
Icoord dx, dy, dz;
void rpmvs(dx, dy, dz)
Scoord dx, dy, dz;
void rpmv2(dx, dy)
Coord dx, dy;
void rpmv2i(dx, dy)
Icoord dx, dy;
void rpmv2s(dx, dy)
Scoord 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, RGBcolor, c, cpack, n, v, lmdef, and lmbind. Use
lmdef and lmbind to respecify only materials and their properties.

rpmv(3G)rpmv(3G)NOTES
rpmv should not be used in new development. Rather, polygons should be
drawn using the high-performance v commands, surrounded by calls to
bgnpolygon and endpolygon. Matrix commands pushmatrix, translate, and
popmatrix 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.
