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. Unfor-
       tunately,  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 preal-
       located, 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.
