line_endpoint(3G)

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 end points with anisotropic mapping (x units do not equal y units) may produce unexpected, device-dependent results.

DEFAULT

Endpoint is system dependent.
