L_PntDrawShapeLine

#include "LtPnt.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_PntDrawShapeLine(pPaint, UserDC, nStartX, nStartY, nEndX, nEndY)

pPAINTHANDLE pPaint;	/* pointer to a paint handle */
HDC UserDC;	/* handle to the device context */
L_INT nStartX;	/* x-coordinate of the start point */
L_INT nStartY;	/* y-coordinate of the start point */
L_INT nEndX;	/* x-coordinate of the end point */
L_INT nEndY;	/* y-coordinate of the end point */

Draws a line between the specified points.

Parameter	Description
pPaint	Pointer to a paint handle.
UserDC	Handle to a device context, such as a screen, to use as a display surface. This parameter can also be NULL. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.
nStartX	Specifies the x-coordinate of the start position.
nStartY	Specifies the y-coordinate of the start position.
nEndX	Specifies the x-coordinate of the end position.
nEndY	Specifies the y-coordinate of the end position.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The line will be drawn using the current shape properties. To determine the current shape properties, call L_PntGetProperty. To set or change the current shape properties, call L_PntSetProperty. For more information on the shape properties, refer to the PAINTSHAPE structure.

If UserDC is not NULL, the toolkit will paint the line on the specified device context. If UserDC is NULL, the line will not be painted on a device context.

If a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, the line will be drawn on the specified bitmap. If UserDC is not NULL and a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, then the line will be drawn to both the device context and the bitmap.
