Return Value

Array of break line information (see Remarks)

Remarks

The return value is the following array of doubles:

 

[ breaklineStyle, [ color, lineType, lineStyleIndex, lineWeight, layerId,

  layerOverride, number of lines, number of arcs ], line data or arc data ]

 

 

breaklineStyle

Valid returns are found in swBreakLineStyle_e

color

COLORREF returned as an integer. Return value could be 0 or -1 for default color

lineType

Valid returns are found in swLineTypes_e. A lineType is a combination of a lineStyle and lineWeight.

LineStyleIndex

Valid line styles can be found in swLineStyles_e.

lineWeight

An integer value defining the line width. Valid width values can be found in swLineWeights_e.

layerId

An integer value indicating which layer holds this entity. The ILayer object can be obtained by passing this integer value to ILayerMgr::GetLayerById and ILayerMgr::IGetLayerId.

layerOverride

An integer with bit flags set to determine which properties, if any, have been overridden with respect to the Layer default properties. If the bit value is set, then the specific property or properties have been overridden. The bit indicators are:

  • color = 0x1

  • style = 0x2

  • width = 0x4

Therefore, if LayerOverride is returned as 3, then the color and style were specifically set for this item and may not match the default values associated with this item's layer.

Number of lines

Number of pairs of lines in the break line.

Number of arcs

Number of pairs of arcs in the break line.

 

Each break line is a pair of line segments:

swBreakLineStraight

  • LineStartPt[3]

  • Line1EngPt[3]

  • Line2StartPt[3]

  • Line2EndPt[3]

swBreakLineZigZag

Each has 5 lines
