annotationSetLineThickness#

Purpose#

Sets the line thickness for textbox, rectangle or ellipse borders as well as the thickness of lines and arrows.

Format#

annotationSetLineThickness(&myAnnotation, thickness)#

Parameters:

myAnnotation (struct) – A pointer to an instance of a plotAnnotation structure
thickness (scalar) – the thickness of the line in pixels.

Examples#

Basic usage#

/*
** Declare 'myAnnotation' to be an instance of a plotAnnotation structure
** and fill it in with default values
*/
struct plotAnnotation myAnnotation;
myAnnotation = annotationGetDefaults();

// Set line thickness to 1 pixel
annotationSetLineThickness(&myAnnotation, 1);

Full example setting thickness of rectangle border#

// Create and plot some simple data
x = seqa(-1.5, 0.1, 31);
y = cos(x);
plotXY(x, y);

/*
** Declare 'myAnnotation' to be an instance of a plotAnnotation structure
** and fill it in with default values
*/
struct plotAnnotation myAnnotation;
myAnnotation = annotationGetDefaults();

// Set line thickness to 1 pixel (for rectangle border in this case)
annotationSetLineThickness(&myAnnotation, 1);

/*
** Add rectangle to 'xy' plot from above
** using settings from 'myAnnotation'
*/
x_start = -pi ./ 4;
y_start = 0.07;
x_end = pi ./ 4;
y_end = 0.71;

plotAddShape(myAnnotation, "rectangle", x_start, y_start, x_end, y_end);
