void Show_Line_Pattern_Explicit | ( | char * | pattern | ) |
Returns the explicit line pattern that has been set on the currently open segment.
pattern | - A special constant. See description in Set_Line_Pattern_Explicit(). Passed by reference. Returned to user. |
When the value being passed back is a string, be sure you've declared your string variable to be long enough.
In C, "passed by reference" means that you have to allocate an appropriate variable, either statically or off the stack, and pass a pointer to that variable to the HOOPS routine. To generate a pointer to a variable C, you prefix the variable with a "&". In other languages you normally don't have to do anything different from usual.
The Show_Line_Pattern_Explicit() routines will complain if they're called and the attribute is not actually set in the segment. Use Show_Existence() to avoid this, if necessary.
void PShow_Net_Line_Pattern_Exp | ( | int | count, | |
const HC_KEY * | keys, | |||
char * | pattern | |||
) |
Similar to Show_Line_Pattern_Explicit(), but returns the net effective setting along a discrete path of segments.
count | - The size of keys | |
keys | - An array of HC_KEY's delineating a path of segments. | |
pattern | - A special constant. See description in Set_Line_Pattern(). Passed by reference. Returned to user. |
By default, HOOPS will determine the Net attribute from the last specified key all the way to the root. If you add -1 at the end of the array, the PShow_Net routines will not proceed beyond the end of the last specified key.
