cmd_line Function (ROM Call 0x358)

AMS 1.01 or higher bascmd.h

void cmd_line (CESI x1, CESI y1, CESI x2, CESI y2, CESI drawmode);

Executes TI-Basic 'Line' command.

cmd_line displays the Graph Screen and draws, erases, or inverts a line segment on it. The parameters x1, y1, x2, y2, and drawmode should point to five items on the expression stack, which represent respectively the coordinates of the starting point, the ending point, and the drawing mode. All coordinates are integer or floating point values which are relative to the current window settings (you can change them using the "Window Editor" application, or directly by storing values in system variables "xmin" etc., using the VarStore function). The parameter drawmode should point to one of the following values:

1Draws the line.
0Erases the line.
-1Inverts pixels along the line.

See also cmd_pxlline, which uses pixel coordinates instead of window-relative ones, and DrawLine (or DrawClipLine) for much faster low-level line drawing (independently of the Graph Screen).


Uses: GetValue, gr_active, ForceFloat, GraphActivate, GrClipLine, XCvtFtoP, YCvtFtoP, MakeWinRect, WinAttr, WinLine
