XDrawLines in Linux
 

Are there any alternatives to Xlib routines such as XDrawLines for Linux that take regular or long ints as drawing coordinates? The Xlib routines typically use short ints for drawing coordinates but I sometimes need to use coordinates that exceed the range of short ints.

Seriously? What's the display resolution of the target device, and what is the range of a short int on that device? And for that matter, what's the range of a regular int on that device?

Qt's line drawing routines use ints (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qline.html). So do the drawing routines provided by Java's Swing libraries.
