NAME
       LineComp, LineView, PSLine, MultiLineComp, MultiLineView, PSMultiLine - line and multiline component subject, view, and PostScript external
       representation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Unidraw/Components/line.h>

DESCRIPTION
       LineComp is a GraphicComp that defines a line.  It uses an Line graphic to store its graphical attributes.  LineView is a  GraphicView  for
       displaying  the	line.	PSLine is a PostScriptView that externalizes the subject's information in PostScript form.  The MultiLine counter-
       parts of these classes define the component and external representation for a contiguous set of line segments, i.e., an open polygon.  Mul-
       tiLineComp is derived from VerticesComp, MultiLineView is a VerticesView, and PSMultiLine is a PSVertices.

LINECOMP PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       LineComp(Line* = nil)
	      The constructor takes an optional line graphic that defines the attributes of the line.

       virtual void Interpret(Command*)
	      LineComp redefines Interpret to ignore PatternCmds.

       Line* GetLine()
	      Return the Line graphic that defines the line's attributes.  GetLine is simply a more specific form of the GetGraphic operation.

LINEVIEW PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       LineView(LineComp* = nil)
	      Create an LineView, optionally supplying the subject.

       virtual void Interpret(Command*)
	      LineView interprets AlignToGridCmd to align its first endpoint to the grid.

       virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
	  Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*, Tool*
       )

       virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
	      LineView	redefines  its response to manipulation with a GraphicCompTool.  The user clicks to specify the first endpoint of the line
	      and then drags to position remaining endpoint.  The endpoints will be constrained by gravity,  if  any.	LineView  also	defines  a
	      response	to the ReshapeTool, allowing the user to click on one of its endpoints to reposition it.  The subject is actually replaced
	      (via ReplaceCmd) with a new LineComp subject reflecting the repositioned endpoint.  Repositioning will be influenced by gravity.

       virtual void GetEndpoints(Coord&, Coord&, Coord&, Coord&)
	      Return the line's endpoints, in canvas coordinates.

       LineComp* GetLineComp()
	      Return the subject.

LINEVIEW PROTECTED OPERATIONS
       virtual void CreateHandles()
	      LineView redefines CreateHandles to use a RubberHandles object with two handles, one at each endpoint of the line.

PSLINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       PSLine(LineComp* = nil)
	      Construct a PostScript external representation of the given subject, if any.

MULTILINECOMP PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       MultiLineComp(SF_MultiLine* = nil)
	      The constructor takes an optional stroked-filled multiline graphic that defines the attributes of the multiline.

       SF_MultiLine* GetMultiLine()
	      Return the MultiLine graphic that defines the multiline's attributes.  GetMultiLine is simply a more specific form of the GetGraphic
	      operation.

MULTILINEVIEW PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       MultiLineView(MultiLineComp* = nil)
	      Create an MultiLineView, optionally supplying the subject.

       virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
	  Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*, Tool*
       )

       virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
	      MultiLineView  redefines its response to manipulation with a GraphicCompTool.  The user clicks the left mouse button to specify each
	      vertex and clicks with the middle mouse button to specify the final vertex.  Vertex positioning will be constrained by  gravity,	if
	      any.   MultiLineView also defines a response to the ReshapeTool, allowing the user to click on one of its vertices to reposition it.
	      The subject is actually replaced (via ReplaceCmd) with a new MultiLineComp subject reflecting the repositioned vertex.   Reposition-
	      ing will be influenced by gravity.

       MultiLineComp* GetMultiLineComp()
	      Return the subject.

PSMULTILINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       PSMultiLine(MultiLineComp* = nil)
	      Construct a PostScript external representation of the given subject, if any.

PSMULTILINE PROTECTED OPERATIONS
       virtual const char* Name()
	      PSMultiLine identifies itself as "MLine" in the PostScript output.
