LINE FUNCTION

• A procedure for specifying straight-line segments can be


set up in a number of different forms.
• In PHIGS(Programmer's Hierarchical
Interactive Graphics Standard), GKS(Graphical
Kernel System), and some other packages, the two-
dimensional line function
• where parameter n is assigned an integer value equal to
the number of coordinate positions to be input
• wcpoints is the array of input world coordinate values
for line segment endpoints.

LINE FUNCTION

• This function is used to define a set of n – 1 connected


straight line segments.
• Because series of connected line segments occur more
often than isolated line segments in graphics applications,
polyline provides a more general line function

LINE FUNCTION

• To display a single straight-line segment, we set n -= 2


and list the x and y values of the two endpoint
coordinates.
• As an example of the use of polyline, the following
statements generate two connected line segments, with
endpoints at (50, 103, (150, 2501, and (250,100):

LINE FUNCTION

 wcPoints[ll .x = SO;
 wcPoints[ll .y = 100;
 wcPoints[21 .x = 150;
 wc~oints[2l.y = 250;
 wc~oints[3l.x = 250;
 wcPoints[31 .y = 100;
 polyline ( 3 , wcpoints);

LINE FUNCTION
• Coordinate references in the polyline function are stated as
absolute coordinate values
• For example, if location (3,2) is the last position that has been
referenced in an application program,
• a relative coordinate specification of (2, -1) corresponds to an
absolute position of (5,1).

Computer Science III B.Sc CS Sem : VI Year 2019 - 2020

LINE FUNCTION
• Implementation of the polyline procedure is accomplished by
first performing a series of coordinate transformations, then
malung a sequence of calls to a device-level line-drawing
routine.
• In PHIGS, the input line endpoints are actually specified in
modeling coordinates, which are then converted to world
coordinates.
