Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Line ( _
    x2 As Single, _
    y2 As Single _
)

public void Line(
    float x2,
    float y2
)

public:
void Line(
    float x2, 
    float y2
)

member Line : 
        x2:float32 * 
        y2:float32 -> unit

public function Line(
    x2 : float, 
    y2 : float
)

Parameters

• x2
  Type: System.Single

  Single value indicating the horizontal coordinate of the endpoint for the line being printed. The starting point for the line is determined by the CurrentX and CurrentY property values.

• y2
  Type: System.Single

  Single value indicating the vertical coordinate of the endpoint for the line being printed. The starting point for the line is determined by the CurrentX and CurrentY property values.

Remarks

To print connected lines, begin a subsequent line at the endpoint of the previous line.

The width of the line printed depends on the setting of the DrawWidth property. The manner in which a line is printed depends on the setting of the DrawStyle property.

When Line runs, the CurrentX and CurrentY properties are set to the endpoint specified by the parameters.

To draw a rectangle or filled rectangle, use one of the overloaded Line methods.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to print a line.

Dim pr As New Printer
pr.CurrentY = 500
pr.Line(pr.Width, 500)
pr.EndDoc()
