PLMKSTRM(3)                       PLplot API                       PLMKSTRM(3)



NAME
       plmkstrm - Creates a new stream and makes it the default

SYNOPSIS
       plmkstrm(p_strm)

DESCRIPTION
       Creates a new stream and makes it the default.  Differs from using
       plsstrm(3), 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.

       Redacted form: plmkstrm(p_strm)

       This function is used in examples 1,20.

ARGUMENTS
       p_strm (PLINT *, output)
              Pointer to stream number of the created stream.
