Synopsis
PDX_MSGT picr_OffsetSurface(long option, int model, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, int tag, int identifier, MDA_PTR u_params, MDA_PTR v_params, MDA_PTR underlying_surface, double offset_distance, double tolerance, MDA_PTR *offset_surface_ptr)
Purpose
Create the PINT model OffsetSurface entity.
Description
This function creates a PINT OffsetSurface entity for the given input data. The data provided must result in a valid definition. The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.
