%D The graphic capabilities of \TEX\ do not go beyond simple
%D filled rules, except of course when using specials. Let's
%D start with a warning: using this commands is far more slower
%D than using the \TEX\ primitives \type{\hrule} and
%D \type{\vrule}, but they save us some tokens. The
%D characteristics of these rule drawing command can be set by:
%D
%D \showsetup{setupblackrules}
%D
%D The simple command draws only one rule. Its optional
%D argument can be used to specify the dimensions. By setting
%D the width, height or depth to \type {max}, one gets the
%D natural dimensions.

%D Marginrules will either become obsolete or be redone.

%D The next commands can be used to draw margin rules. We
%D support two methods: \marginrule{one for in||line use} and
%D one that acts on a paragraph. Drawing a margin rule is
%D rather straightforward because we can use the commands that
%D put text in the margin.

%D \macros

%D The first method gobbles words and simply puts a bar in the
%D margin. This method is not entirely robust.

%D \stopmarginrule
%D
%D \startmarginrule[5]
%D The second paragraph is a level~5 one. As we can see here,
%D the marginal rule gets a width according to its level.
%D \stopmarginrule
%D
%D \startmarginrule[8]
%D It will of course be no surprise that this third paragraph
%D has a even thicker margin rule. This behavior can be
%D overruled by specifying the width explictly.

%D \macros
%D   {vl, hl}
%D
%D The command \type{\vl} draws a vertical rule \vl\ with strut
%D dimensions, multiplied with the factor specified in the
%D optional argument. The height and depth are clipped \vl[3]
%D to the baselinedistance. Its horizontal counterpart
%D \type{\hl} draws a horizontal rule \hl\ with a width of 1em,
%D multiplied with the optional factor. The horizontal rule is
%D drawn on top of the baseline.

%D \showsetup{vl}
%D \showsetup{hl}

%D \macros
%D   {hairline, thinrule, thinrules, setupthinrules}
%D
%D Drawing thin lines can of course easily be accomplished by
%D the \TEX\ primitives \type{\hrule} and \type{\vrule}. The
%D next few macros however free us from some specifications.
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D some text

%D \hairline

%D some more text
%D
%D \thinrule

%D more and more text
%D
%D hi \thinrule\ there
%D
%D and then the final text
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D becomes
%D
%D \startexample
%D \getbuffer
%D \stopexample
%D
%D So we've got
%D
%D \showsetup{hairline}
%D \showsetup{thinrule}
%D
%D Both can be set up with:
%D
%D \showsetup{setupthinrules}
%D

%D   {fillintext}

%D To provide compatible layouts when texts and lines are
%D mixed, one can typeset a paragraph by using the command
%D \type{\fillintext}.

%D \showsetup{fillintext}

%D \macros
%D   {fillinline, setupfillinlines}
%D
%D Another member of the family takes care of putting a (often
%D small) rule after a piece of text, like
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \fillinline \input reich \par
%D \fillinline[margin=0cm] \input reich \par
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \startexample
%D \getbuffer
%D \stopexample
%D
%D which was typeset by saying:
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D The two commands that take care of this are:
%D
%D \showsetup{fillinline}
%D \showsetup{setupfillinlines}
