+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XSetLineAttributes
+function sets the line drawing components in the specified GC.
+.LP
+.ZN XSetLineAttributes
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc ,
+.ZN BadGC ,
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XSetDashes
+function sets the dash-offset and dash-list attributes for dashed line styles
+in the specified GC.
+There must be at least one element in the specified dash_list,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+The initial and alternating elements (second, fourth, and so on)
+of the dash_list are the even dashes, and
+the others are the odd dashes.
+Each element specifies a dash length in pixels.
+All of the elements must be nonzero,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+Specifying an odd-length list is equivalent to specifying the same list
+concatenated with itself to produce an even-length list.
+.LP
+The dash-offset defines the phase of the pattern,
+specifying how many pixels into the dash-list the pattern
+should actually begin in any single graphics request.
+Dashing is continuous through path elements combined with a join-style
+but is reset to the dash-offset between each sequence of joined lines.
+.LP
+The unit of measure for dashes is the same for the ordinary coordinate system.
+Ideally, a dash length is measured along the slope of the line, but implementations
+are only required to match this ideal for horizontal and vertical lines.
+Failing the ideal semantics, it is suggested that the length be measured along the
+major axis of the line.
+The major axis is defined as the x axis for lines drawn at an angle of between
+\-45 and +45 degrees or between 135 and 225 degrees from the x axis.
+For all other lines, the major axis is the y axis.
+.LP
+.ZN XSetDashes
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc ,
+.ZN BadGC ,
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAlloc
+The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadGC
+A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadValue
+Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
+Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
+by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
+alternatives can generate this error.
