DESCRIPTION

deflinestyle defines a linestyle, a write-enable pattern that is applied when lines are drawn.  The arguments specify an index into a table where the linestyles are stored, and a sixteen-bit pattern.  Up to 216 linestyles can be defined.  By default, index 0 contains the pattern FFFFx which draws solid lines, and cannot be redefined.  There is no performance penalty for drawing non-solid lines.  To replace a linestyle, define the new one to have the same index as the old one.
