lineto (Number x, Number y) typedict.Path
 
Adds a line segment to this path that extends from the current point, if there is one, to (x, y), which becomes the new current point. The point (x, y) is transformed using the CTM associated with this path when lineto is called, which means subsequent changes to CTM do not affect this line segment. If this path is empty lineto will abort with a nocurrentpoint error.
 
 Example:   The program,
import yoix.stdio.*;

Path p;

moveto(x, y) = printf(" moveto(%.1f, %.1f);\n", x, y);
lineto(x, y) = printf(" lineto(%.1f, %.1f);\n", x, y);

p.moveto(100, 200);
p.lineto(200, 400);
p.lineto(200, 300);

printf("Output before CTM change:\n");
p.pathforall(moveto, lineto, NULL, NULL, NULL);
p.CTM.scale(2, 2);
printf("\nOutput after CTM change:\n");
p.pathforall(moveto, lineto, NULL, NULL, NULL);
prints something like
Output before CTM change:
 moveto(100.0, 200.0);
 lineto(200.0, 400.0);
 lineto(200.0, 300.0);

Output after CTM change:
 moveto(50.0, 100.0);
 lineto(100.0, 200.0);
 lineto(100.0, 150.0);
on standard output. Notice how the coordinates changed after we scaled the CTM associated with the path.
