    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

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

    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
    • 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.
