Method mkstrm

mkstrm(out Int32)

plmkstrm: Creates a new stream and makes it the default

Declaration

public static void mkstrm(out Int32 p_strm)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	p_strm	Returned value of the stream number of the created stream.

Remarks

Creates a new stream and makes it the default. Differs from using plsstrm, in that a free stream number is found, and returned. Unfortunately, I have to start at stream 1 and work upward, since stream 0 is preallocated. One of the big flaws in the PLplot API is that no initial, library-opening call is required. So stream 0 must be preallocated, and there is no simple way of determining whether it is already in use or not.
