lsbackup(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

lsbackup − controls whether the last two pixels of a line are colored

SPECIFICATION

C
lsbackup(b)
Boolean b;

FORTRAN
subroutine lsback(b)
logical b

Pascal
procedure lsbackup(b: Boolean);

DESCRIPTION

lsbackup is one of two routines that modify the application of the linestyle pattern.  If enabled, it overrides the current linestyle to guarantee that the last two pixels in a line are colored.  It takes one argument (b), a boolean.  If b is TRUE(1), backup mode is enabled.  Set resetls to TRUE(1) when backup mode is enabled.  If b is FALSE(0), the default setting, the linestyle is used as it stands, and lines can have invisible endpoints.
