Preliminary remarks

This manual explains how to use GKS and GKS-3D at CERN.

In this manual examples are in monotype face and strings to be input by the user are underlined. In the index the page where a routine is defined is in bold, page numbers where a routine is referenced are in normal type.

In the description of the routines a * following the name of a parameter indicates that this is an output parameter. If another * precedes a parameter in the calling sequence, the parameter in question is both an input and output parameter.

Certain areas described in this manual are still subject to change. Their description is included in the hope of soliciting feedback. They are flagged with a changebar in the margin.

This document has been produced using LaTeX [1] with the cernman style option, developed at CERN. A PostScript file hbook.ps, containing a complete printable version of this manual, can be obtained from any CERN machine by anonymous ftp as follows (commands to be typed by the user are underlined):
