.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBhline_set()\fR, \fBvline_set()\fR, \fBwhline_set()\fR,
\fBwvline_set()\fR functions draw a line, in either the window \fBstdscr\fR  or
\fIwin\fR  starting at the current cursor position. The line is drawn using the
character \fIwch\fR and is a maximum of \fIn\fR positions long, or as many as
will fit into the window.  If \fIwch\fR is a null pointer, the default
horizontal or vertical character is used.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmvhline_set()\fR, \fBmvvline_set()\fR, \fBmvwhline_set()\fR,
\fBmvwvline_set()\fR functions are similar to the previous group of functions
but the line begins at cursor position specified by \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR.
.sp
.LP
The functions with names ending with \fBhline_set()\fR draw horizontal lines
proceeding towards the last column of the same line. The functions with names
ending with \fBvline_set()\fR draw vertical lines proceeding towards the last
column of the same line.
.sp
.LP
These functions do not change the position of the cursor.
