Return Value
- lHits (LONG) - returns
- Correlation and error indicators.
- GPI_OK - Successful
- GPI_HITS - Correlate hits
- GPI_ERROR - Error.

The current position is set to the end point of the line. The line is drawn using the current values of the line color, line mix, line width, and line type attributes.
Errors
Possible returns from WinGetLastError:
- PMERR_INV_HPS (0x207F)
- An invalid presentation-space handle was specified.
- PMERR_PS_BUSY (0x20F4)
- An attempt was made to access the presentation space from more than one thread simultaneously.
- PMERR_INV_COORDINATE (0x205B)
- An invalid coordinate value was specified.
- PMERR_INV_NESTED_FIGURES (0x20A8)
- Nested figures have been detected within a path definition.

Element Type: OCODE_GCLINE Note that GpiPolyLine also generates this element type. Order: Line at Current Position
Example Code
This example uses GpiLine to draw an X.

/* point array */
POINTL ptl[4] = { 0, 0, 100, 100, 0, 100, 100, 0 };
GpiMove(hps, &ptl[0]);
GpiLine(hps, &ptl[1]);
GpiMove(hps, &ptl[2]);
