Syntax

[C/C++:]
void gSetArcMode(int sw);

[F90:]
subroutine gSetArcMode(sw)
integer, intent(in) :: sw

Arguments

sw
Arc generation switch

= GHARD,

Hardware arcs (default)

= GSOFT,

Software arcs

Description

The routine gSetArcMode() switches the software generation of arcs on or off.

By default, hardware arcs are produced. When hardware arcs are requested, arcs will be generated by hardware on devices with hardware arc generating facilities. If the device has no hardware arcs, then software arcs will be generated.

Hardware arcs are subject to the current line mode, and can be windowed and transformed. When transforming hardware arcs, if the resulting arc is not circular it will be generated using software.

Routines gSetArcIncrement() and gSetArcTolerance() have no effect when hardware arcs are being drawn.
