Description
  XDrawLine() uses the components of the specified  graphics  context  to
  draw	a line between two points in the specified drawable.  No pixel is
  drawn more than once.

  XDrawLine()  uses  these  graphics   context	 components:	function,
  plane_mask,  line_width,  line_style,	 cap_style,  fill_style,  subwin‐
  dow_mode, clip_ x_origin, clip_y_origin,  and	 clip_mask.   XDrawLine()
  also uses these graphics context mode-dependent components: foreground,
  background, tile, stipple, ts_x_origin, ts_y_origin,	dash_offset,  and
  dashes.

  For  more  information, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and
  Text, and Chapter 5, The Graphics Context.
