Composite resources

The GraphicStyle object class has no composite class objects.

Superclass resources

The superclasses of the GraphicStyle class do not define any resources.

Description

The GraphicStyle class defines a set of resources for specifying the attributes of line, fill, marker, and text drawing primitives. Currently, GraphicStyle objects are used to control the appearance of graphics primitives drawn using the following immediate mode drawing functions: In the future, use of GraphicStyle and related classes may become more prevalent throughout the HLU library. Note that at present the GraphicStyle text attribute resources have no function.

All the immediate mode drawing functions take an instance of the GraphicStyle class as an argument. You have several options for specifying this argument. You may create a graphicstyle just as you would any other HLU object, set its resources as desired, and then use its id in the argument list to any of these functions.

As an alternative, you may specify the argument using the default graphicstyle that each workstation creates automatically when it is initialized. The easiest way to do this is simply to use NhlNULLOBJID (0) as the argument. This value is recognized by the workstation as a shorthand signal telling it to use its default graphicstyle.

On the other hand, you may retrieve the actual id of the workstation's default graphicstyle by getting the value of the read-only Workstation resource wkDefGraphicStyleId. Once you have retrieved this id, you may set the resources of the default graphicstyle just as if you had created it yourself.

Note that setting GraphicStyle class resources in a resource file affects the Workstation default graphicstyle the same as it affects graphicstyles you create on your own.

Support functions

The GraphicStyle object does not define any support functions, but inherits all the support functions available to its superclass.
