	PIND_CLIP	\fI Perform model clipping\fR
.sp .2
} Pclip_ind;
.fi
.IP \fIceil\fP
The search ceiling index defines a position in the starting path list.
The structure identifier at this position of the list defines a ceiling
for the search.
.IP \fInorm\fP
A pointer to a Pfilter_list structure containing a set of normal filter lists.
Pfilter_list is defined below.
.IP \fIinv\fP
A pointer to a Pfilter_list structure containing a set of inverted filter lists.

.nf
typedef struct {
.sp .2
	Pint	num_filters;	/* number of filters */
	Pfilter	*filters;	/* list of filters */
.sp .2
} Pfilter_list;
.sp
.fi
\fIfilters\fP is a pointer to an array (num_filters) of Pfilter
structures, that contains an inclusion set and an exclusion set of names.
.sp .4
.ta .5i +\w'Pint_list     'u +\w'excl_set;     'u
.IP
Pfilter is defined in phigs.h as:
.sp .4
.nf
typedef struct {
.sp .2
	Pint_list	incl_set;	/* inclusion set */
	Pint_list	excl_set;	/* exclusion set */
.sp .2
} Pfilter;
.fi
.sp .4
The incl_set contains a set of names for the inclusion set.
The excl_set contains a set of names for the exclusion set.
Pint_list is defined in phigs.h as:
.sp .4
.ta .5i +\w'Pint     'u +\w'*integers;     'u
.nf
typedef struct {
.sp .2
	Pint	num_ints;	/* number of Pints in list */
	Pint	*ints;	/* list of integers */
.sp .2
} Pint_list;
.fi
.IP \fIlen\fP
The maximum length of the portion of the found path to be returned.
.IP \fIst\fP
The starting position of the portion of the found path to be returned.
The complete found path is returned if \fIst\fP is set to zero.
.SS C Output Parameters
.IP \fIerror_ind\fP
A pointer to the location to store the error number of any error
detected by this function.
.IP \fIfp\fP
\s-2PHIGS\s+2 stores the found path in the variable pointed to by this
parameter.
Pelem_ref_list is defined in phigs.h as:
.sp .4
.ta .5i +\w'Pelem_refs     'u +\w'num_elem_refs;     'u
.nf
typedef struct{
.sp .2
	Pint	num_elem_refs;	/* number of execute references */
	Pelem_ref	*elem_refs;	/* list of execute references */
.sp .2
} Pelem_ref_list;
.fi
.IP
\fInum_elem_refs\fP specifies the length of the structure path returned.
.IP
\fIelem_refs\fP is a pointer to an array of Pelem_ref structures 
fInum_elem_refs\fP long.
All but the last of these structures contain the structure identifier and
element number of each execute reference structure element in the path to
the selected output primitive.
.IP
The application must allocate memory for \fIlen\fR elements in the
list of \fIelem_refs\fR.
If the length of the found path is greater than the \fIlen\fP parameter,
then no found path is returned.
In this case, \fItot_len\fP will be set to indicate the total length of
the found path.
.IP \fItot_len\fP
A pointer to an integer to contain the total length of the found path.
.SS Execution
When \s-2INCREMENTAL SPATIAL SEARCH\s+2 is called, a search begins at
the element following the position specified by the starting path and
continues until an ouput primitive meeting the search criteria is found
or the search ceiling is reached.
The search is conceptually a traversal with structure elements being
examined sequentially and matched against the search criteria.
Element position zero is allowed so that the search may start
at the first element of the structure.
.LP
Search filters are applied to
control which output primitive structure elements are considered.
The filters are organized into two lists, the normal and
the inverted filter lists, which operate in the opposite senses.  
A structure element is said to be \fIaccepted\fP if it is declared eligible
when \s-2NAME SET\s+2 is applied to the filters.  To be accepted
by a filter,
\s-2NAME SET\s+2 must have at least one name in common with the
inclusion set
and no names in common with the exclusion set.  For a structure element
to be considered a candidate for the search it must be
accepted by each of the filters in the normal filter list and 
rejected by each of the filters in the inverted filter list.
If the normal filter list is empty, then all structure elements 
satisfy the acceptance criteria for normal filters. 
If the inverted filter list is empty, all structure elements 
satisfy the rejection criteria for inverted filters.
Graphical output structure elements which satisfy the search filters
are checked for proximity to the reference point.
.LP
For \s-2TEXT\s+2 structure elements,
the only proximity relationship used
is closeness to the text origin.
For \s-2ANNOTATION TEXT RELATIVE\s+2 structure elements,
the only proximity relationship used
is closeness to the annotation reference point.
.LP
The search will continue until either a graphical output structure element
matches the search criteria or the end of the structure identified by the
search ceiling is reached.
If a search is successful, the complete search path is returned as a found
path.  An unsuccessful search returns a null found path.
.LP
The function is incremental in that, having found a match, the
search may be continued by invoking \s-2INCREMENTAL SPATIAL SEARCH\s+2
again with the found path as the next starting path.  This allows all
elements matching the search criteria to be found for a given portion of
a structure network.
