NAME

deflinestyle − defines a linestyle

SPECIFICATION

C
deflinestyle(n, ls)
short n;
Linestyle ls;

FORTRAN
subroutine deflin(n, ls)
integer*4 n, ls

Pascal
procedure deflinestyle(n: longint; ls: Linestyle);

DESCRIPTION

deflinestyle defines a linestyle, which is a write-enabled pattern that is applied when lines are drawn.  The least-significant bit of the linestyle is applied first.  n specifies an index into a table where the linestyles are stored, and ls specifies a 16-bit pattern.  You can define up to 216 linestyles.  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, specify the index of the old linestyle in place of the new one.
