💖 lines(3U) 💖

okay so bestie — welcome to the InterViews Reference Manual page for lines(3U) and honestly? it's giving structured graphics royalty. no cap. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

Point, Line, MultiLine, S_MultiLine, SF_MultiLine — structured graphics classes for points, lines, and open polygons. that's the whole squad right there. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <Unidraw/Graphic/lines.h>

like yes, that's the one line you need, and then you're in. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: Point and Line are subclasses of Graphic that draw a point and a line, respectively. simple. iconic. they do exactly what they say on the tin. ✨

then we have MultiLine, which is a Vertices subclass and serves as an abstract base class for open polygons. she's the blueprint, not the finished product, and we respect her for that. 🦋

so like, S_MultiLine is a MultiLine subclass for stroked open polygons, while SF_MultiLine is a stroked-filled open polygon. two sisters, slightly different vibes. 💖

and here's the tea on state: Point, Line, and S_MultiLine store a PSBrush, while SF_MultiLine also stores a PSPattern. she's got extra. she's got layers. we love that for her. 🌈

💅 POINT PUBLIC OPERATIONS 💅

• Point(Coord x, Cord y, Graphic* = nil) — constructs a Point object, and optionally you can supply a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state. cute, flexible, we stan.
• void GetOriginal(Coord&, Coord&) — returns the coordinates you supplied in the constructor. no guessing, she just tells you. 💖

🔥 LINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS 🔥

• Line(Coord x0, Cord y0, Coord x1, Coord y1, Graphic* = nil) — constructs a Line object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state. yes, two endpoints, zero drama.
• void GetOriginal(Coord& x0, Coord& y0, Coord& x1, Coord& y1) — returns the line's endpoints as supplied in the constructor. exactly as you left them, bestie. 🫶

🧚 MULTILINE PROTECTED OPERATIONS 🧚

• MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil) — okay so MultiLine's constructor is protected, and that's on purpose: it prevents instantiation of the abstract base class. the parameters are passed directly to the Vertices constructor. she's not for direct use, she's for inheriting. periodt. 💀

🍓 S_MULTILINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS 🍓

• S_MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil) — constructs an S_MultiLine object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state. stroked and serving. ✨

⭐ SF_MULTILINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS ⭐

• SF_MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil) — constructs an SF_MultiLine object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state. stroked AND filled, main character energy fr fr. 👑

lowkey a heads-up: MultiLine's constructor being protected means you literally cannot instantiate the abstract base class. that's not a bug, that's the design. respect the boundary bestie. 🙈

and that's the whole page, babe!! this one came from Unidraw, dated 2 February 1991 — yes she's vintage, yes she still ate, no notes. 💜✨
