1.7.2 Line Types

Line types indicate solid, dashed, and doted lines. The following line types are allotted to numbers 1 through 4.

1: solid
2: dashed
3: dotted
4: alternate long and short dash

All other integers besides 0 specify a line type which uses the bit pattern of the lower N bits (N is a value determined by the internal variable 'NBITS'. Initial value is 16; See Section 2.4.4) For example, when N=16 and itype = Z'0000F0F0' (hexadecimal constant), the line type is specified as '4bits ON 4bits OFF 4bits ON 4bits OFF'. The length of 1 bit is determined by the internal variable 'BITLEN'. For examples of line types, see Section 8.1.1.
