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.

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.
