ident
Auxiliary drawing area identifier (2 to MAXAUX)
Description
The routine gCloseAuxDrawingArea() is a device independent routine for closing and deleting an auxiliary drawing area that has been opened using gOpenAuxDrawingArea(). The drawing area may have been visible or invisible depending on the value of the identifier. The closure of a visible drawing area (even number) will also remove its associated invisible drawing area or backing store.
The identifier (ident) must be in the range 2 to MAXAUX*2+1, where MAXAUX is the maximum number of auxiliary drawing areas that the currently nominated device can handle. This value can be obtained through the routine gEnqDeviceState().
If an auxiliary drawing area is closed while output is being directed to it, all further output will be directed to the default drawing area/window (1).
