foreground(3G)							foreground(3G)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     foreground	- prevents a graphical process from being put into the
     background

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     void foreground()

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     none

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     winopen normally runs a process in	the background.	 Call foreground
     before calling winopen.  It keeps the process in the foreground, so that
     you can interact with it from the keyboard.  When the process is in the
     foreground, it interacts in the usual way with the	IRIX input/output
     routines.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     winopen

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     This routine is available only in immediate mode.

     If	you want to use	dbx or edge to debug graphics programs,	foreground
     must be called before any calls to	winopen.
