How does do_line get triggered? I have been using it for years since Bill D'Amico helped me with it.
I have it in a macro that I am writing and in this one, it has no effect. I thought that there might need to be some call made elsewhere in the macro, but I can't find anything in any other macros that looks outside the macro.
Here is my representative line: When I use something like "do_line[5]:= false;" (w/o quotes) the line still trails.
Thanks much,
Woody

Hello Woody,

I'm sorry I'm not directly familiar with "do_line". Do you know where it's declared? Perhaps you need to include another file?

I assume that is what it is.... doline.
It doesn't show up in the index of the manual in either form.
Thanks,

As I have been using it, it is a boolean that allows breaks in line elements so that all are part of a single group.

The only reference to doline I found is in the DCAL sample DRAG.DCS.

It appears to be a boolean that determines whether or not a rubber-band line is drawn between the point picked and the cursor.
