5 Device Names

The choice of display device used by an IDI program is selected by passing the device name to Open Display or by defining the name through the parameter system if IDI_ASSOC is used in an ADAM task.

IDI uses the Graphics Name Service (SUN/57) to translate the given device names. Acceptable device names can be found by running the example program gnsrun_idi (normally found in /star/bin/examples).
