Type

Description

The "post dump" procedure. During the creation of a plot metafile in the dump command, graphic primitives are processed individually to produce the plot. The post_dump procedure, if defined, is executed after each primitive has been processed. This procedure does not take any parameters, but the system epointer this is set to point to the primitive in question.

When customizing plot metafiles, this procedure is often used to enter user data into the plot metafile under creation.

post_dump is a companion to the pre_dump procedure.

Examples

The following might be used to monitor which entities have just been dumped to file.

post_dump = { tell <'Dumped',this.name> }
