resetl(3G)
resetl - controls the continuity of linestyles
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME resetl - controls the continuity of linestyles FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION subroutine resetl(b) logical 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 resetl 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 resetl from .FALSE. to .TRUE. in the middle of a line causes the linestyle to be reset. If resetl is .FALSE. when setlin is called, the linestyle does not change until resetl(.TRUE.) is issued. resetl(.TRUE.) also initializes the lsrepe factor to 1. SEE ALSO deflin, getres, lsrepe, setlin NOTES The setting of resetl 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.
