Sets the length of time in which the cel engine can do one draw.
Err SetCEWatchDog (Item bitmapItem,int32 db_ctr)
This call controls how long DrawCels()
allows the cel engine do one draw before it is killed. The delay interval is expressed in microseconds. The intent of SetCEWatchDog()
is to provide a way to abort cel engine lock-ups (which can be caused by bad data, a linked list that is a loop, or other problems).
Currently, the default counter is 1,000,000 microseconds (1 second).
The call returns 0 if successful or an error code (a negative value) if an error occurs.
GRAFERR_BADDEADBOLT is returned if an illegal value is specified.
Folio call implemented in Graphics folio V20.
