PLSTYL(3)                   PLplot API                  PLSTYL(3)


NAME
       plstyl - Set line style

SYNOPSIS
       plstyl(nels, mark, space)

DESCRIPTION
       This  sets  up the line style for all lines subsequently drawn.  A line
       consists of segments in which the pen is alternately down and  up.  The
       lengths  of  these  segments  are  passed  in the arrays mark and space
       respectively.  The number of mark-space pairs is specified by nels.  In
       order  to  return  the  line  style  to  the  default  continuous line,
       plstyl(3) should be called with nels=0.(see also pllsty(3))

       Redacted form: plstyl(mark, space)

       This function is used in examples 1,9,14.

ARGUMENTS
       nels (PLINT, input)
              The number of mark and space elements in a line.  Thus a  simple
              broken  line  can  be  obtained by setting nels=1.  A continuous
              line is specified by setting nels=0.

       mark (PLINT *, input)
              Pointer to array with the lengths of the segments  during  which
              the pen is down, measured in micrometers.

       space (PLINT *, input)
              Pointer  to  array with the lengths of the segments during which
              the pen is up, measured in micrometers.
