display-id

    OpenVMS usage:identifier
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Specifies the virtual display whose default rendition is to be
    changed. The display-id argument is the address of an unsigned
    longword that contains the display identifier.

    The display identifier is returned by SMG$CREATE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY.

 start-row

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Starting row position to receive the new rendition. The start-row
    argument is the address of a signed longword that contains the
    starting row number.

 start-column

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Starting column position to receive the new rendition. The start-
    column argument is the address of a signed longword that contains
    the starting column number.

 number-of-rows

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Number of rows to receive the new rendition. The number-of-rows
    argument is the address of a signed longword that contains the
    number of rows to be affected.

 number-of-columns

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Number of columns to receive the new rendition. The number-
    of-columns argument is the address of a signed longword that
    contains the number of columns to be affected.

 rendition-set

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Attribute specifier. The optional rendition-set argument is
    the address of a longword bit mask in which each attribute set
    causes the corresponding attribute to be set in the display. The
    following attributes can be specified using the rendition-set
    argument:

    SMG$M_BLINK     Displays blinking characters.
    SMG$M_BOLD      Displays characters in higher-than-normal
                    intensity.
    SMG$M_REVERSE   Displays characters in reverse video; that is,
                    using the opposite of the default rendition of
                    the virtual display.
    SMG$M_          Displays underlined characters.
    UNDERLINE
    SMG$M_          Specifies invisible characters; that is, the
    INVISIBLE       characters exist in the virtual display but do
                    not appear on the pasteboard.
    SMG$M_USER1     Displays user-defined attributes.
    through
    SMG$M_USER8

    The display-id argument must be specified when you use the
    rendition-set argument.

 rendition-complement

    OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Attribute complement specifier. The optional rendition-
    complement argument is the address of a longword bit mask in
    which each attribute set causes the corresponding attribute to
    be complemented in the display. All of the attributes that can
    be specified with the rendition-set argument can be complemented
    with the rendition-complement argument. The display-id argument
    must be specified when you use the rendition-complement argument.

    The optional arguments rendition-set and rendition-complement
    let the user control the attributes of the virtual display. The
    rendition-set argument sets certain virtual display attributes,
    while rendition-complement complements these attributes. If the
    same bit is specified in both the rendition-set and rendition-
    complement parameters, rendition-set is evaluated first, followed
    by rendition-complement. By using these two parameters together,
    the user can control each virtual display attribute in a single
    procedure call. On a single-attribute basis, the user can cause
    the following transformations:

    Set  Complement Action

    0    0          Attribute set to default
    1    0          Attribute on
    0    1          Attribute set to complement of default setting
    1    1          Attribute off
