#Declaration

public void DrawLine(

    int x2,
    int y2,
    DocumentLayoutUnit unit
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
pen RichEditPenBase

The RichEditPenBasedescendant that sets the line’s color and thickness.

x1 Int32

Sets the line’s start point x-coordinate.

y1 Int32

Sets the line’s start point y-coordinate.

x2 Int32

Sets the x-position of the line’s end point

y2 Int32

Sets the y-position of the line’s end point

unit DocumentLayoutUnit

Specifies measurement units for the line parameters

#Remarks

To set the line style, use the RichEditPenBase.DashStyle method.

When you print or export documents, document objects may appear differently from the way they look on screen. To make them look the same in both outputs, set the DocumentLayoutUnit parameter to the same DocumentLayoutUnit value as the one specified for the document layout.

Note

Using this parameter is effective only if the drawn shape has coordinates and parameters represented by absolute values – coordinates represented by relative values already have the same measurement unit as the whole document layout.
