Purpose: Demonstrate drawing lines on a label. This example underlines the “Hello World!” text from the previous example.
moveto - Position the drawing cursor at the desired location
The line will be positioned near the same location as the text, a bit lower in the y direction to allow for a small space between the bottom of the text and the line. This example uses the value 68, 4 points below the text (4/72 inches).
lineto – Set the dimensions for the line
The line will be drawn from the current position (72,68) to the position set by the lineto (144,68). The vertical position did not change resulting in a horizontal line stretching between the x locations of 72 and 144.
stroke – Draw the line
Actually draws the line specified by the lineto command.
