This section contains examples of some of the functions used to govern some of the preferences used to control the global behavior of Patran.


pref_geo_get_v1	()

#  Purpose          :  This file provides an example of a call to the

#                      function pref_geo_get_v1()

#                      This illustration opens a new database and gets

#                      the geometry preference of the current database

#                      Then it changes the geometry preferences and

#                      gets it again.

#                      This file can be run by starting a session of

#                      Patran and running this session file

#  Purpose          :  This file provides an example of a call to the

#                      function pref_env_set_string()

#                      In this illustration, the value of a  String

#                      preference "graphics_fullcolor" is changed.

#                      Then again the old value is set to that String

#                      preference.

#                      This file can be run by starting a session of

#                      Patran and running this session file

#                      through the "File","Session","Play" pulldown

#                      menus on the menu bar.
