[comp.windows.interviews] Question about using brushes for different lines...

haber@CS.WISC.EDU (Eben Merriam Haber) (04/29/91)

I am using IV 3.0-alpha (though my problem may be with any version).  I am
trying to create dashed lines, and lines wider than normal.  I have tried
SetBrush, creating a brush with a new pattern and width:

  myLine->SetBrush(new PBrush(0xeaea,8))

but the line come out looking completely normal.  (By normal I mean the line
is minimumwidth and not patterned).  Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thanks!

Don't you have added myLine in a picture for which you have also defined a
brush?
From the manual:

		A picture has its own state
          which is ``concatenated'' with the state of its sub-
          graphics when the picture is drawn or erased.  The
          semantics of concatentation are that subgraphics are
          drawn with the picture's state information substituted
          for their own, except for attributes that are undefined
          (nil) in the picture; the subgraphics' individual
          attributes are used for these values.

This may be your problem...
