FIG ATTRIBUTES
- sub_type
-
0: opened approximated spline; 1: closed approximated spline; 2: opened interpolated spline; 3: closed interpolated spline; 4: opened x-spline; 5: closed x-spline.
- line_style
-
-1: Default; 0: Solid; 1: Dashed; 2: Dotted; 3: Dash-dotted; 4: Dash-double-dotted; 5: Dash-triple-dotted.
- thickness
-
80-ths of an inch ("display units")
- pen_color
-
-1..31: FIG colors; 32..543 (512 total): user colors.
- fill_color
-
-1..31: FIG colors; 32..543 (512 total): user colors.
- depth
-
0 ... 999: larger value means object is deeper than (under) objects with smaller depth
- pen_style
-
unused
- area_fill
-
fill type
- style_val
-
length, in 1/80 inches, of the on/off dashes for dashed lines, and the distance between the dots, in 1/80 inches, for dotted lines
- cap_style
-
0 = Butt (default); 1 = Round; 2 = Projecting.
- forward_arrow
-
0: no forward arrow; 1: on
- backward_arrow
-
0: no backward arrow; 1: on
- npoints
-
number of control points in spline
- f_arrow_type, b_arrow_type
-
0: Stick-type (default); 1: Closed triangle; 2: Closed with "indented" butt; 3: Closed with "pointed" butt
- f_arrow_style, b_arrow_style
-
0: Hollow (filled with white); 1: Filled with pen_color
- f_arrow_thickness, b_arrow_thickness
-
1/80 inch
- f_arrow_width, b_arrow_width
-
Fig units
- f_arrow_height, b_arrow_height
-
Fig units
- xnpoints, ynpoints
-
arrays of points coordinates in Fig units
- control_points
-
array of control points values: there is one shape factor for each point. The value of this factor must be between -1 (which means that the spline is interpolated at this point) and 1 (which means that the spline is approximated at this point). The spline is always smooth in the neighbourhood of a control point, except when the value of the factor is 0 for which there is a first-order discontinuity (i.e. angular point).
