short Escape(hdc, SETLINEJOIN, sizeof(int),lpNewJoin,lpOldJoin)The SETLINEJOIN printer escape specifies how a device driver will join two intersecting line segments. The intersection can form a rounded, squared, or mitered corner.
hdc
HDC Identifies the device context.
lpNewJoin
LPINT Points to a short integer that specifies the type of intersection. Following are the possible values and their meanings:
| Value | Meaning |
| –1 | Line segments are joined by using the default graphics device interface (GDI) setting. |
| 0 | Line segments are joined with a mitered corner; the outer edges of the lines extend until they meet at an angle. This is referred to as a miter join. |
| 1 | Line segments are joined with a rounded corner; a semicircular arc with a diameter equal to the line width is drawn around the point where the lines meet. This is referred to as a round join. |
| 2 | Line segments are joined with a squared end point; the outer edges of the lines are not extended. This is referred to as a bevel join. |
lpOldJoin
LPINT Points to a short integer that specifies the previous line join setting.
The return value specifies the outcome of the escape. It is positive if the escape is successful. Otherwise, it is negative.
This escape is used only by PostScript printer drivers.
The interpretation of this escape varies with page-description languages (PDLs). For its exact meaning, consult the PDL documentation.
If an application specifies a miter join but the angle of intersection is too small, the device driver ignores the miter setting and uses a bevel join instead.
