GreGetLineOrigin

GreGetLineOrigin returns the current line style from the DC instance data and stores the current position to the address indicated by pptlXY. The presentation driver maintains the line style information.

This function must be supported by the presentation driver. GreGetLineOrigin is used to get the line style and current position simultaneously. This function call can be handled by bit-map simulation.


 * Simulation support: None. This function is mandatory for all drivers.

Syntax
GreGetLineOrigin(hdc, pptlXY, pInstance, lFunction)

Parameters

 * hdc (HDC) - input : Device context handle.
 * pptlXY (PPOINTL) - input : Pointer to an (X,Y) coordinate pair to which the current position is returned.
 * pInstance (PVOID) - input : Pointer to instance data.
 * lFunction (ULONG) - input : High-order WORD=flags; low-order WORD=NGreGetLineOrigin.

Returns
On completion, this function returns the style number (lStyle), or GPI_ALTERROR if an error occurs.
 * rc (LONG) - returns : Return Code.

Possible Errors Detected: When an error is detected, the handling routine must call WinSetErrorInfo to post the condition. Error codes for conditions that the handling routine is expected to check include: Refer to the "Error Explanations" section in the Presentation Manager Programming Reference for further explanation.
 * PMERR_DEV_FUNC_NOT_INSTALLED
 * PMERR_INV_HDC

Remarks
Some lines and curves can be drawn either by the presentation driver or by simulations that must be able to query and set the style as required. If COM_TRANSFORM is not set, the coordinate pair at pptlXY is returned in screen coordinates.

The high-order WORD of the style number contains the first/last pel information. If the value of this byte is 0, the first pel is not drawn. (See First and Last Pel Considerations.) The low-order byte indicates the position in the style mask. This is a count, held in the three least significant bits, of the number of positions that the style mask byte is rotated. The next byte is the state of the style error value.
