resetls(3G) resetls(3G)
NAME
resetls - controls the continuity of linestyles
C SPECIFICATION
void resetls(b)
Boolean b;
PARAMETERS
b expects either TRUE or FALSE.
TRUE causes the linestyle to be reset at the beginning of each line
segment.
FALSE causes the linestyle to be continued across the segments of a
line.
DESCRIPTION
resetls enables or disable linestyle reset mode. This mode affects the
reinitialization of the linestyle pattern between line segments. If it
is enabled (the default), it causes the stippling of each segment of a
line to start at the beginning of the linestyle pattern. If it is
disabled, the linestyle is not reset between segments, and the stippling
of one segment continues from where it left off at the end of the
previous segment.
Changing resetls from FALSE to TRUE in the middle of a line causes the
linestyle to be reset. If resetls is FALSE when setlinestyle is called,
the linestyle does not change until resetls(TRUE) is issued.
resetls(TRUE) also initializes the lsrepeat factor to 1.

deflinestyle, getresetls, lsrepeat, setlinestyle
NOTES
The setting of resetls is ignored for Graphics Library primitives such as
arcs, circles, and curves, even though they are currently implemented
using lines.
This routine only functions on IRIS-4D B and G models, and therefore we
advise against its use in new development.
