View Ref-File8.16  Object library                                               TOS

This library makes functions available for drawing and manipulating 
objects (of any kind). The following routines exist for this:

 ∙ objc_add     Inserts an object in object tree
 ∙ objc_change  Alters status of an object
 ∙ objc_delete  Removes object from the object tree
 ∙ objc_draw    Draws AES objects (or part-objects)
 ∙ objc_edit    Edits text in an object
 ∙ objc_find    Determines object at given screen position
 ∙ objc_offset  Obtains true screen coordinates of an object
 ∙ objc_order   Alters order of objects in object tree
 ∙ objc_sysvar  Manipulates 3D objects
 ∙ objc_wchange Alters status of an object (in window)
 ∙ objc_wdraw   Draws objects (or part-objects) (in window)
 ∙ objc_wedit   Edits text in an object (in window)
 ∙ objc_xedit   Edits text in an object
 ∙ objc_xfind   Finds object index from its position
 ∙ objc_xoffset No information available at present

Note: Here special merit has been earned by objc_sysvar, with whose 
help the 3D-look of objects can be controlled (and as of MagiC 3 also 
switched off).
