Primitive (pr) Resources

prGraphicStyle
This resource specifies the id of a GraphicStyle object used to determine the attributes of the the graphics primitive. If set to NullObjId a default graphicstyle will apply to the primitive. This may be either the default Workstation graphicstyle or a graphicstyle determined in some other way.

Default: NullObjId

prPolyType
This resource of type NhlTPolyType specifies the type of the graphic primitive. Currently there are three choices:
Polyline
The graphics primitive will be rendered as a series of connected lines. You define the line attributes by setting resources whose names begin with gsLine... in the associated graphic style object.
Polygon
The graphics primitive will be rendered as an edge consisting of closed series of connected lines enclosing a filled area. You define the edge attributes by setting resources whose names begin with gsEdge... in the associated graphic style object. Likewise, you define the fill attributes by setting resources whose names begin with gsFill....
Polymarker
The graphics primitive will be rendered as a series of marker symbols drawn at each of the coordinate points. You define the marker attributes by setting resources whose names begin with gsMarker... in the associated graphic style object.

Default: Polyline

prXArray
This array resource specifies the data space X coordinates of the points that define the graphic primitive.

Default: NULL

prYArray
This array resource specifies the data space Y coordinates of the points that define the graphic primitive.

Default: NULL
