I am trying to draw thick line in a canvas window and came across the
pw_line routine described on page 96 of the Sunview Programmer's Guide.
Unfortunately no supporting documentation has been found for the routine.
For such items as the brush and tex options.  The structures for these
have been looked at, but no sense as to what values to input or even what
tex option needs for input can be discerned.

The Pixrect Reference Manual had no examples or helpful descriptions that
could be found.  If you could provide useful examples of the pw_line
routine and what valid inputs are availbe for brush and tex, it would be
much apreciated.

[[ There is a program in the archives that provides a thorough example of
using pw_line.  It is in the "sun-source" section and is called
"linedemo.shar".  It is 12447 bytes in length and can be retrieved via
anonymous FTP from the host "titan.rice.edu" or via the archive server.
For more information about the archive server, send a mail message
