Using hairlines and wireframes

The display of complex vector images is sometimes slow. To accelerate them, Imagenation offers the options of displaying them with hairlines, or wireframes, or both.

To accelerate the display of vector images in the active document window:

1. Enable Hairlines. Use the SetViewHairlines(docwinID, 1) transaction.

2. Enable Wireframes. Use the SetViewWireframes(docwinID, 1) transaction.

All vector lines on the image appear to be 1 pixel thick at all scale factors, and all filled vector objects appear to be transparent.

To request the current hairline status, use the GetViewHairlines transaction. To request the current wireframe status, use the GetViewWireframes transaction.
