LINEATTRS structure (winddi.h)

  • Article

The LINEATTRS structure is used by a driver's line-drawing functions to determine line attributes.

Syntax

typedef struct _LINEATTRS {
  FLONG       fl;
  ULONG       iJoin;
  ULONG       iEndCap;
  FLOAT_LONG  elWidth;
  FLOATL      eMiterLimit;
  ULONG       cstyle;
  PFLOAT_LONG pstyle;
  FLOAT_LONG  elStyleState;
} LINEATTRS, *PLINEATTRS;

Members

fl

Option flags. This member can be one of the following values:

Flag Meaning
LA_ALTERNATE A special cosmetic line style; every other pixel is on.
LA_GEOMETRIC A geometric wide line.
LA_STARTGAP The first entry in the style array specifies the length of the first gap.
LA_STYLED The line is a styled line.

iJoin

Specifies join styles for geometric wide lines. This member can be one of the following values:

Join Style Meaning
JOIN_BEVEL The joining edges of wide lines are beveled.
JOIN_MITER The joining edges of wide lines are mitered.
JOIN_ROUND The joining edges of wide lines are rounded.

iEndCap

Specifies the end cap style for a geometric wide line. This member can be one of the following values:

End Cap Style Meaning
ENDCAP_BUTT The end cap is
ENDCAP_ROUND The end cap is rounded.
ENDCAP_SQUARE The end cap is square.

elWidth

Specifies a FLOAT_LONG that indicates the width of the line. This width is measured in FLOAT world coordinates for a geometric wide line, but in LONG device coordinates for a cosmetic wide line. For a description of the FLOAT_LONG data type, see GDI Data Types.

eMiterLimit

Specifies a FLOATL that sets the limit as a multiple of the line width that a miter join is allowed to extend from its inside corner to its outer vertex. This prevents very long spikes from occurring when lines of a path meet at very small angles. If the miter limit is exceeded, a bevel join should be used instead. For a description of the FLOATL data type, see GDI Data Types.

This member is used only by geometric wide lines.

cstyle

Specifies the number of entries in the style array pointed to by the pstyle member.

pstyle

Pointer to an array of FLOAT_LONG elements: the style array. If this member is NULL, the line style is solid. For a description of the FLOAT_LONG data type, see GDI Data Types.

elStyleState

Specifies a FLOAT_LONG that contains a pair of 16-bit values supplied by GDI whenever the driver calls PATHOBJ_bEnumClipLines. These two values, packed into a FLOAT_LONG, specify where in the styling array (at which pixel) to start the first subpath. This value must be updated as part of the output routine if the line is not solid. This member applies to cosmetic lines only

. See also Styled Cosmetic Lines for additional information.
