NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     resetls - controls	the continuity of linestyles

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     void resetls(b)
     Boolean b;

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     deflinestyle, getresetls, lsrepeat, setlinestyle

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
