GINCLUDE Call

includes a graphics segment

CALL GINCLUDE( segment-name);

where segment-name is a character matrix or quoted literal specifying a graphics segment.

The GINCLUDE subroutine includes into the current graph a previously defined graph named segment-name from the same catalog. The included segment is defined in the current viewport but not the current window.

The implementation of the GINCLUDE subroutine makes it possible to include other segments to the current segment and reposition them in different viewports. Furthermore, a segment can be included by different graphs, thus effectively reducing storage space. Examples of valid statements follow:

      /* segment1 is a character variable        */
      /*containing the segment name              */
   segment1={myplot};
   call ginclude(segment1);

      /* specify the segment with quoted literal */
   call ginclude("myseg");
