## NAME

line.c - Line drawing.

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions

void **caca\_draw\_line** (int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, char c)\
 *Draw a line on the screen using the given character.*  void **caca\_draw\_polyline** (int const x\[\], int const y\[\], int n, char c)\
 *Draw a polyline on the screen using the given character and coordinate arrays. The first and last points are not connected, so in order to draw a polygon you need to specify the starting point at the end of the list as well.*  void **caca\_draw\_thin\_line** (int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2)\
 *Draw a thin line on the screen, using ASCII art.*  void **caca\_draw\_thin\_polyline** (int const x\[\], int const y\[\], int n)\
 *Draw a thin polyline on the screen using the given coordinate arrays and with ASCII art. The first and last points are not connected, so in order to draw a polygon you need to specify the starting point at the end of the list as well.*
