XDrawLines

Syntax

XDrawLines(display, d, gc, points, npoints, mode)
      Display *display;
      Drawable d;
      GC gc;
      XPoint *points;
      int npoints;
      int mode;

Arguments

display	Specifies the connection to the X server.
d	Specifies the drawable.
gc	Specifies the GC.
points	Specifies an array of points.
npoints	Specifies the number of points in the array.
mode	Specifies the coordinate mode. You can pass CoordModeOrigin or CoordModePrevious.

Description

The XDrawLines() function uses the components of the specified GC to draw npoints-1 lines between each pair of points (point[i], point[i+1]) in the array of XPoint structures. It draws the lines in the order listed in the array. The lines join correctly at all intermediate points, and if the first and last points coincide, the first and last lines also join correctly. For any given line, XDrawLines() does not draw a pixel more than once. If thin (zero line-width) lines intersect, the intersecting pixels are drawn multiple times. If wide lines intersect, the intersecting pixels are drawn only once, as though the entire PolyLine protocol request were a single, filled shape. CoordModeOrigin treats all coordinates as relative to the origin, and CoordModePrevious treats all coordinates after the first as relative to the previous point.

XDrawLines() use these GC components: function, plane-mask, line-width, line-style, cap-style, join-style, fill-style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask. XDrawLines() also uses these GC mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin, tile-stipple-y-origin, dash-offset, and dash-list.

XDrawLine(), can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch and BadValue errors.

Diagnostics

BadDrawable	A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
BadGC	A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
BadMatch	An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
BadMatch	Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails to match in some other way required by the request.
BadValue	Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
