LINE_REPEAT_LENGTH(3G)

NAME

line_repeat_length − specify line type pattern size for line primitives

SYNOPSIS

C Syntax:

void line_repeat_length(fildes,length);
int fildes;
float length;

FORTRAN77 Syntax:

subroutine line_repeat_length(fildes,length)
integer*4 fildes
real length

Pascal Syntax:

procedure line_repeat_length(fildes:integer;length:real);

DESCRIPTION

Input Parameters

fildes Integer file descriptor returned by gopen when an I/O path to a graphics device is opened. 

length Repeat length of the line-type pattern measured in virtual device units along the x-direction. 

Discussion

This procedure sets the repeat length for polyline and draw output primitives. 

There are some device-dependent limitations for setting repeat length.  Some raster devices round to the nearest multiple of 16 pixels. 

DEFAULT

Repeat length is 1/32 of the default vdc_extent x-axis. 

SEE ALSO
