NAME

line_endpoint − set a line endpoint type and corners for lines with width. 

SYNOPSIS

C Syntax:

void line_endpoint(fildes,endpoint);
int fildes,endpoint;

FORTRAN77 Syntax:

subroutine line_endpoint(fildes,endpoint)
integer*4 fildes,endpoint

Pascal Syntax:

procedure line_endpoint(fildes,endpoint:integer);

DESCRIPTION

Input Parameters

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

endpoint an enumerated value specifying the type of endpoint for a line wider than the default line width:

SQUARE = endpoints are squared-off perpendicular to the primary line. 

ROUNDED = endpoints are circular. 

Discussion

Line_endpoint specifies the type of endpoint and corners that will be used for a polyline2d, intpolyline2d, draw2d, or intdraw2d that has a specified width. 

NOTE

Rounded endpoints with anisotropic mapping (where units in X do not equal units in Y) may produce unexpected, device-dependent results. 

DEFAULT

The default endpoint drawing type is device-dependent.
