NAME
       XSetLineAttributes, XSetDashes - GC convenience routines

SYNTAX
       XSetLineAttributes(display, gc, line_width, line_style, cap_style,
       join_style)
	     Display *display;
	     GC gc;
	     unsigned int line_width;
	     int line_style;
	     int cap_style;
	     int join_style;

       XSetDashes(display, gc, dash_offset, dash_list, n)
	       Display *display;
	       GC gc;
	       int dash_offset;
	       char dash_list[];
	       int n;

ARGUMENTS
       cap_style Specifies the line-style and cap-style you want to set for
		 the specified GC.  You can pass or

       dash_list Specifies the dash-list for the dashed line-style you want to
		 set for the specified GC.

       dash_offset
		 Specifies the phase of the pattern for the dashed line-style
		 you want to set for the specified GC.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       gc	 Specifies the GC.

       join_style
		 Specifies the line join-style you want to set for the speci‐
		 fied GC.  You can pass or

       line_style
		 Specifies the line-style you want to set for the specified
		 GC.  You can pass or

       line_width
		 Specifies the line-width you want to set for the specified
		 GC.

       n	 Specifies the number of elements in dash_list.

DESCRIPTION
       The function sets the line drawing components in the specified GC.

       can generate and errors.

       The function sets the dash-offset and dash-list attributes for dashed
       line styles in the specified GC.	 There must be at least one element in
       the specified dash_list, or a error results.  The initial and alternat‐
       ing elements (second, fourth, and so on) of the dash_list are the even
       dashes, and the others are the odd dashes.  Each element specifies a
       dash length in pixels.  All of the elements must be nonzero, or a error
       results.	 Specifying an odd-length list is equivalent to specifying the
       same list concatenated with itself to produce an even-length list.

       The dash-offset defines the phase of the pattern, specifying how many
       pixels into the dash-list the pattern should actually begin in any sin‐
       gle graphics request.  Dashing is continuous through path elements com‐
       bined with a join-style but is reset to the dash-offset between each
       sequence of joined lines.

       The unit of measure for dashes is the same for the ordinary coordinate
       system.	Ideally, a dash length is measured along the slope of the
       line, but implementations are only required to match this ideal for
       horizontal and vertical lines.  Failing the ideal semantics, it is sug‐
       gested that the length be measured along the major axis of the line.
       The major axis is defined as the x axis for lines drawn at an angle of
       between -45 and +45 degrees or between 135 and 225 degrees from the x
       axis.  For all other lines, the major axis is the y axis.

       can generate and errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

       A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.

       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
       request.
		 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.	 Any
		 argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
		 error.
