GS application

[Francesco Cesarini]

Hi Priya,
you have an error in your code. What happens is that a new process is
spawned, but it crashes when executing .

gs:draw_line(Win, solid, 2, Path) 

Which does not exist.

The error is not detected at compile time because Erlang modules are
compiled on a stand alone basis and not linked to each other. 

You can easily find the error by calling internal/0 directly from the
shell
6> line2:internal().
** exited: {undef,{gs,draw_line,
                     
[{5,<0.45.0>},solid,2,[{10,50},{30,50},{30,60},{60,60}]]}} **
7> 

Other errors include the fact that line takes a canvas as a parent and
not a Window. Look at the online documentation @
http://www.erlang.org/doc/current/lib/gs-1.3.7/doc/index.html for exact
parameters to pass to the function.

Regards,
Francesco
