scrnse(3G)scrnse(3G)NAMEscrnse - selects the screen upon which new windows are placed
FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
integer*4 function scrnse(gsnr)
integer*4 gsnr
PARAMETERS
gsnr expects the number of a screen controlled by the currently
selected graphics server.
FUNCTION RETURN VALUE
The function returns the previously selected screen, or -1 if there was
an error (e.g., gsnr is not a valid screen number).
DESCRIPTIONscrnse selects the screen upon which a subsequent winope, ginit, gbegin,
creates a window. It also selects the screen to which getgde and gversi
inquiries refer. The screen number must correspond to a window
controlled by the currently selected graphics server. The default is
screen number zero. If set, the environment variables DISPLAY,
DGLSERVER, and REMOTEHOST are checked (except when using the DGL library)
in that order, to override this default.
On error, scrnse leaves the current screen selection unchanged.
You can call scrnse prior to graphics initialization.

This routine is available only in immediate mode.
Use getgde(GDNSCR) to determine the number of screens available on the
currently selected graphics server.
