STRING	name*15;
INT	mode;
STRING	file*132;
VECTOR	origin;

Principal parameters

name	- Name of view to process
mode	- 1 = Show on display
	2 = Write to plotfile
	3 = Both at the same time

 
Optional parameters

file	- Name of plotfile if mode = 2 or 3

Comments

When used on the display (mode = 1 or 2) hide_view is only capable of displaying images in the window with ID = 0 (the main window).

A hidden line image is a "view only" image and can not be used for interactive graphics the same way as the normal wireframe image.
