Deprecated. Do not use in new code.

(Engine-Level Function)

Description:	Draws a layered three-dimensional pipe in a window.
Returns:	Nothing
Usage:	Steady State only.
Function Groups:	Graphics
Related to:	GUIPipe | Pipe
Format:	ZPipe(XArrayElem, YArrayElem, N, LowIndex, HighIndex, PixelWidth)
Parameters:

XArrayElem

Required. Any numeric expression that specifies the starting array element. The array contains the X coordinates of the path along which to draw the pipe. If processing a multidimensional array, the usual rules apply to decide which dimension should be examined.

YArrayElem

Required. Any numeric expression that specifies the starting array element. The array contains the Y coordinates of the path along which to draw the pipe. If processing a multidimensional array, the usual rules apply to decide which dimension should be examined.

N

Required. Any numeric expression giving the number of array elements to use to define the path of the pipe.

LowIndex

Required. Any numeric expression specifying the low index into the current color palette. It is used in conjunction with the next parameter to adjust the brightness and contrast of the shading.

HighIndex

Required. Any numeric expression specifying the high index into the current color palette. It is used in conjunction with the previous parameter to adjust the brightness and contrast of the shading.

PixelWidth

Required. Any numeric expression specifying the width of the shaded pipe in pixels and is subject to applicable scaling factors.

Comments:

Although this is a layered graphic, it cannot be edited using the Idea Studio. It is for use within text mode editing only. The pipe will be drawn with a miter effect, such that pipe segments meet at 45-degree angles.

Example:

ZPipe(x[0], y[0] { First endpoint for pipe },
      8 { Number of vertices }, 
      176, 239 { Very dark gray to very light gray }, 
      24 { Width of pipe in pixels });
