pushVRMLname

Set the clipping plane expansion factor.

Prototype

void ss2snfe(float expand);

Description

Push the given name onto the VRML "name stack". When VRML data is written, it is written in "groups" with these names. The default group name is "ANON". To view the VRML output, which is written to a file called test.wrl, you will need a suitable VRML viewer for your operating system. VRML output is most useful for incorporating into 3d-PDF documents. See here for examples.

Code Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "s2plot.h"


int main(int argc, char *argv[])

   fprintf(stderr,"Creates VRML file: test.wrl\n");

   s2opend("/s2mono", argc, argv);      /* Open in mono mode */
   s2swin(-1.,1., -1.,1., -1.,1.);      /* Set the window coordinates */

   pushVRMLname("BOX");                 /* Create a new VRML object name */
