COMPOUND

Combines one or several line drawing commands to form a shape.

Syntax

COMPOUND intValue .

Parameters

• <main-parameter> (intValue) - The amount of following line drawing commands that are combined into a shape.

Details

The style of this command is defined by the PEN command for the outline and the FILL command to fill the shape.

A compound can combine LINE, POLYLINE and CURVE commands to form a shape.

It is especially useful combined with the CURVE command, as otherwise a POLYGON would produce the same result. The number following the keyword COMPOUND indicates how many of the following elements belong to the compound. The compound's outline results from the elements, where the end point of each element is connected to the start point of the following element, unless the two points are congruent. The last end point is connected to the first start point in such a way that the result is always a closed figure. Please note that the drawing direction of the single elements is important.
