Linestyles are specified by giving a nominal length of a single dash and a character string consisting of 1's and 0's (zeros) that specify when to draw a dash and when not to draw a dash. Linestyles will follow curves and "go around" corners. If a linestyle is set or reset, the accumulated information as to where on a curve (or line) a dash is to be draw is also reset.
For example, with a nominal view of -1 to 1, setting the dash length to 0.5, and the linestyle to '11010' would draw a line(or curve) with a 1.0 unit solid part, followed by a 0.5 unit blank part followed by a 0.5 unit solid part fol- lowed by a 0.5 unit blank part. The linestyle would then repeat itself.
The dash sizes are affected by the current viewport/transformation scaling factors, meaning that in perspective, the dashes look smaller the farther away they are.
Set the current line width in units of 1/10,000 of the X size of the display surface (there should probably be an option to have the width be in world coordinates).
Fortran:
subroutine linewidth(iwidth)
integer iwidth
C:
linewidth(iwidth)
int iwidth;
Pascal:
procedure LineWidth(iwidth: integer)
Set the current dash length (in world units) to be dashlen.
Fortran:
subroutine dashcode(dashlen)
real dashlen
C:
dashcode(dashlen)
float dashlen;
Pascal:
procedure DashCode(dashlen: real)
Set the current linestyle to style.
Fortran:
subroutine linestyle(style)
character *(*) style
C:
linestyle(style)
char *style;
Pascal:
procedure LineStyle(style: string_t)
