iHLine (Function) In french: iTraitH Prints a horizontal line at specified coordinates. Unlike iNewLine, the end of the line is squared (instead of being rounded). The line is drawn at cursor location (configured by iYPos). The print job is not started (only iEndPrinting can be used to start the print job). Remark: The origin (0,0) is located in the upper-left corner of the sheet. It takes the physical margins of printer into account.
// Draws a line across the page width
// Thickness: 2.5 Pica
iHLine(0, iPageWidth(), 2.5)
iEndPrinting()
Syntax
<Result> = iHLine(<X1> , <X2> [, <Thickness> [, <Color> [, <Style>]]])
<Result>: Boolean - True if the line was printed,
- False otherwise.
<X1>: Real Horizontal coordinate of the beginning of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page width (returned by iPageWidth). <X2>: Real Horizontal coordinate of the end of line (in millimeters). Value included between 0 and the page width (returned by iPageWidth). <Thickness>: Optional real Line thickness (in picas). By default, this thickness is equal to 1 (one Pica = 0,353 mm).
To get a thickness of 1 pixel, <Thickness> must be equal to 0. When the thickness increases, it is proportionally distributed between the two sides of line. <Color>: Optional integer Color used for the line. If this parameter is not specified, the color used is black.
This color can correspond to: <Style>: Optional integer constant Type of line. | | iContinuous
(default value) | Solid line | | iDashed | Dashed line (-----) | | iDotAndDash | Dot-and-dash line (-.-.) | | iDotted | Dotted line (....) |
Remarks - The line is drawn at vertical cursor location (configured by iYPos).
- The cursor position is not modified when the outline is drawn.
- The dotted type (iDotted) or the mixed type (iDotAndDash) combined with a thick border may produce unpleasant effects.
