NAME

       plstyl - Set line style

SYNOPSIS

       plstyl(nms, mark, space)

DESCRIPTION

       This  sets  up the line style for all lines subsequently drawn.  A line consists of segments in which the
       pen is alternately down and up. The lengths of these segments are passed in the  arrays  mark  and  space
       respectively.   The number of mark-space pairs is specified by nms.  In order to return the line style to
       the default continuous line, plstyl(3plplot) should be called with nms=0.(see also pllsty(3plplot))

       Redacted form: plstyl(mark, space)

       This function is used in examples 1,9,14.

ARGUMENTS

       nms (PLINT, input)
              The number of mark and space elements in a line.  Thus a simple broken line  can  be  obtained  by
              setting nms=1.  A continuous line is specified by setting nms=0.

       mark (const PLINT *, input)
              Pointer  to  array  with  the  lengths  of  the segments during which the pen is down, measured in
              micrometers.

       space (const PLINT *, input)
              Pointer to array with the lengths of the  segments  during  which  the  pen  is  up,  measured  in
              micrometers.
