zIf the end point is the same as the current pen location, a circle is drawn, with its diameter being the line from the current pen position to the intermediate point.

zIf the current pen position, intermediate point, and end point are collinear, a straight line is drawn.

zIf the intermediate point does not lie between the current pen location and the end point, and the three points are collinear, two lines are drawn; one from the current pen location and the other from the end point, leaving a gap between them. Refer to the following illustration. Both lines extend to the PCL Picture Frame limits or current window.
