VB.NET

Public Sub DrawLine(
    pen As RichEditPenBase,
    x1 As Integer,
    y1 As Integer,
    x2 As Integer,
    y2 As Integer,
    unit As DocumentLayoutUnit
)

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.
