vector_image

• short description:
• add a vector to the active image
• sample call:
• (vector_image 0 0 100 100 1)
• function signature:
• • number of arguments:
  • 5
  • argument 1:
  • x coordinate of the start point of the vector
  • argument 2:
  • y coordinate of the start point of the vector
  • argument 3:
  • x coordinate of the end point of the vector
  • argument 4:
  • y coordinate of the end point of the vector
  • argument 5:
  • integer colorcode
  • return value:
  • the colorcode argument or nil on failure
• description:
• Draws a vector in the currently active image. The relevant dimensions of the image can be fetched with dimx_tile and dimy_tile. Those dimensions can be used to calculate the desired dimensions of the vector. The colorcode is either a dwg color index as it is commonly used in CAD applications or it is one of the special purpose DCL color codes. Examples of dwg color indices are 1 for red, 2 for yellow, 5 for blue. The special purpose DCL color codes are negative integers. These are the special purpose DCL color codes: -2 background color of the CAD graphics screen -15 background color of the DCL dialog -16 foreground color of the DCL dialog -18 line color of the DCL dialog
