Coordinate entry mode is absolute

1

Coordinate entry mode is relative

Example

The following code demonstrates the effect of relative_entry on the 3D point prompting:

 

C / C++ Code

 

#include "silver.h"

 

void main(void)

  {

  SS_XYZ world_xyz;

 

  // Prompt for a point, defaulting the coordinate entry mode to absolute

 

  relative_entry(0);

 

  if ( ! prompt_point("Press = to see the effect of 0") )

     exit(-1);

 

  get_world_xyz(&world_xyz);

  ss_command("at %z", &world_xyz);

 

  // Prompt for a point, defaulting the coordinate entry mode to relative

 

  relative_entry(1);

  prompt_point("Press x to see the effect of 1");

  }
