I was poking about today with a little program to do a *large* raster, and I wanted to draw something in it real quick to make sure everything was okey-dokey. I happened across this routine (SetDrPt) in the RKM manual, so I thought I'd spice things up a bit. (it's s'posed to make patterened lines) Turns out, the system knows nothing about this routine. In fact, the only place I can find it is on page 38 of the '86 RKM. It's not listed in Appendix A (where all the fun routines are listed). It's not real important that I have this routine, but it's made me curious. Is there such a routine? If so, what's it's name, and how do I use it. I also noticed no mention of it in the enhancer update, so I'm wondering. Sorry if this has been asked before, and if you don't think the answer is of general interest, just e-mail me. (Hope the feed system don't go down again! :-) Thanks.... -- ** Gregory Roberts II ...!uunet!marque!ncoast!gregr : ** My fingers are responsible, not me! **

Hi, In my Benchmark Modula-2 manual the SetDrPt() function is part of the Drawing module in the support library, which in this case is a just a set of stubs providing redirection to the ROM routines. According to the comments included in the module this routine corresponds to the following C *MACRO*: #define SetDrPt(w,p) {(w)->LinePtrn = p;(w)->Flags |= FRST_DOT; (w)->linepatcnt=15;} This is probably a 1.2 function, and thus is not documented in many of the common referances. Good Luck, Wade. UUCP: {cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc}!crash!pnet01!haitex ARPA: crash!pnet01!haitex@nosc.mil INET: haitex@pnet01.CTS.COM

SetDrPt is a macro; look in graphics/gfxmacros. Louis A. Mamakos WA3YMH Internet: louie@TRANTOR.UMD.EDU University of Maryland, Computer Science Center - Systems Programming

SetDrPt is (like its cousins SetAfPt, SetOPen, and SetWrMsk) a macro, found in <graphics/gfxmacros.h>. Just #include this header in the source file(s) where you want to SetDrPt, up next to all your other #include's. > ** Gregory Roberts II ...!uunet!marque!ncoast!gregr Ross Cunniff Hewlett-Packard Colorado Languages Lab ...{ucbvax,hplabs}!hpda!cunniff cunniff%hpda@hplabs.ARPA
