Description

The function draws a path from the current position up to the specified point.
The start point must be set with another vector graphic function beforehand, such as DynaPDF.MoveTo or other functions which draw an open path segment.
In PDF all vector graphics are defined as paths, a path is invisible as long it was not stroked, filled or both. See also Path construction and Painting.

See also LineTo function in DynaPDF manual.

Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS ( "DynaPDF.SetStrokeColor" ; $pdf ; 0; 0; 0 )]

Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS ( "DynaPDF.LineTo" ; $pdf ; 30; 50)]
Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS ( "DynaPDF.StrokePath" ; $pdf)]
