.SH NAME
vga_drawscansegment \- draw a horizontal line of pixels
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <vga.h>"

.BI "int vga_drawscansegment(unsigned char *" colors ", int " x ", int " y ", int " length );

.SH DESCRIPTION
draws a horizontal line of
.I length pixels
starting at position
.BI ( x ", " y ).
The colors drawn are taken from
.IB color "[0] .. " color [ length " - 1]."
Svgalib versions prior to 1.2.10 required
.IR x ", " y ", and " length
to be multiples of 8. This is no longer true.
In high/truecolor modes, the length must be given in bytes, not pixels.
