Line (lv_line)

Overview

The Line object is capable of drawing straight lines between a set of points.

Parts and Styles

LV_PART_MAIN uses all the typical background properties and line style properties.

Usage

Set points

The points have to be stored in an lv_point_precise_t array and passed to the object by the lv_line_set_points(lines, point_array, point_cnt) function.

Their coordinates can either be specified as raw pixel coordinates (e.g. {5, 10}), or as a percentage of the line's bounding box using lv_pct(x). In the latter case, the line's width/height may need to be set explicitly using lv_obj_set_width/height, as percentage values do not automatically expand the bounding box.

Auto-size

By default, the Line's width and height are set to LV_SIZE_CONTENT. This means it will automatically set its size to fit all the points. If the size is set explicitly, parts on the line may not be visible.

Invert y

By default, the y == 0 point is in the top of the object. It might be counter-intuitive in some cases so the y coordinates can be inverted with lv_line_set_y_invert(line, true). In this case, y == 0 will be the bottom of the object. y invert is disabled by default.

Events

Only the Generic events are sent by the object type.

See the events of the Base object too.

Keys

No Keys are processed by the object type.
