iNewLine (Function)

In french: iLigne

Prints a line (in Windows standard, with a rounded end) at specified coordinates. The print is not started (only iEndPrinting can be used to start the print).

Remark: The origin (0,0) is located in the upper-left corner of the sheet. It takes the physical margins of printer into account.

Example

// Draws a solid line in red
iNewLine(50, 10, 50, 200, iContinuous, 12, LightRed)
// Draws a solid line in black
iNewLine(50, 10, 5, 100, iContinuous, 12, Black)
// Start printing
iEndPrinting()

Syntax

<Result> = iNewLine(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <Style> [, <Thickness> [, <Color>]]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the line was printed,
False otherwise.

<X1>: Real

Horizontal coordinate of the beginning of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page width (returned by iPageWidth).

<Y1>: Real

Vertical coordinate of the beginning of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page height (returned by iPageHeight).

<X2>: Real

Horizontal coordinate of the end of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page width (returned by iPageWidth).

<Y2>: Real

Vertical coordinate of the end of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page height (returned by iPageHeight).

<Style>: Optional integer constant

Type of line.
iContinuous
(default value) Solid line
iDashed Dashed line (-----)
iDotAndDash Dot-and-dash line (-.-.)
iDotted Dotted line (....)

Caution: If <Thickness> is greater than 1, the line will always be a solid line. This parameter can be ignored if it is not supported by the printer driver.

<Thickness>: Optional real

Line thickness (in picas). Default value = 1 (one Pica = 0.353 mm).
To get a thickness of 1 pixel, <Thickness> must be equal to 0. When the thickness increases, it is proportionally distributed between the two sides of line.

<Color>: Optional integer

Color used. If this parameter is not specified, the color used is black.
This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a WLanguage preset color.

Remarks

The cursor position is not modified when the outline is drawn.
The dotted type (iDotted) or the mixed type (iDotAndDash) combined with a thick border may produce unpleasant effects.
