Attributes of output
primitives
• Any parameter that affects the way a primitive is to be
displayed is referred to as an attribute parameter.
• Example attribute parameters are color, size etc. A line
drawing function for example could contain parameter
to set color, width and other properties.
– Line Attributes
– Curve Attributes
– Color and Grayscale Levels
– Area Fill Attributes
– Character Attributes

Curve attributes
• The default current position for any DC is located at the
point (0,0) in logical (or world) space.
• You can set these coordinates to a new position by
calling the MoveToEx function and passing a new set of
coordinates.
• Note There are two sets of line- and curve-drawing
functions.
• The first set retains the current position in a DC, and the
second set alters the position.
• You can identify the functions that alter the current
position by examining the function name.

Curve attributes
• If the function name ends with the preposition "To", the
function sets the current position to the ending point of
the last line drawn (LineTo, ArcTo, PolylineTo,
or PolyBezierTo).
• If the function name does not end with this preposition,
it leaves the current position intact (Arc,Polyline,
or PolyBezier).

Curve attributes
• The default brush is a solid white brush.
• An application can create a new brush by calling
the CreateBrushIndirect function.
• After creating a brush, the application can select it into
its DC by calling the SelectObject function.
• Windows provides a complete set of functions to create,
select, and alter the brush in an application's DC.
• The default pen is a cosmetic, solid black pen that is one
pixel wide.

Curve attributes
• An application can create a pen by using
the ExtCreatePen function.
• After creating a pen, your application can select it into its
DC by calling theSelectObject function.
• Windows provides a complete set of functions to create,
select, and alter the pen in an application's DC
• The default transformation is the unity transformation
(specified by the identity matrix).
• An application can specify a new transformation by
calling the SetWorldTransform function.
• Windows provides a complete set of functions to
transform lines and curves by altering their width,
location, and general appearance.
