lines

Use a line element to draw a single point on the map. You might remember this one as the only way to draw objects in IVAC v1 sectorfiles.

Attribute	Format	Remarks
Element	lines
pattern	double array	line pattern described in an array of doubles
width	float	line width in pixels
color	string	color id name
r	byte	color RGB value (0-255)
g	byte	color RGB value (0-255)
b	byte	color RGB value (0-255)

Each line consists of an even amount of <point> elements where the first <point> is the start and the second <point> element is the end of the line to draw.

The drawing can be written as:

  <lines stroke_color="myPredefinedColor">
      <point x="v0 x" y="v0 y" />
      <point x="v1 x" y="v1 y" />
 
      <point x="v2 x" y="v2 y" />
      <point x="v3 x" y="v3 y" />
  </lines>

Example

The following code draws a rectangle:

  <lines stroke_color="myPredefinedColor">
      <point lat="N0504413" lon="E0043108"/>
      <point lat="N0504421" lon="E0042601"/>
 
      <point lat="N0504421" lon="E0042601"/>
      <point lat="N0504528" lon="E0042119"/>
 
      <point lat="N0504528" lon="E0042119"/>
      <point lat="N0504730" lon="E0041718"/>
 
      <point lat="N0504730" lon="E0041718"/>
      <point lat="N0504413" lon="E0043108"/>
  </lines>
