tlpctrl
Description
This macro invokes the Line Pattern Control Stream dialog box, which enables you to create a new line pattern control stream, of tag type .Lp. The control stream will determine the order in which defined segments will make up the pattern of a line created for the document.
The segments for the line are controlled by a line segment control stream (see tlsctrl).
The line itself is controlled by a line control stream (see tlctrl).
You may also elect to modify an existing control stream by including the name in the macro.
Syntax
tlpctrl line_pattern_segment_ctrl:t?

line_pattern_ctrl
The name of the line pattern control stream that you would like to create or modify, in double quotes (i.e. tlpctrl "line_pattern_ctrl").
Additional Information

segment blue_simple
segment magenta_simple
This pattern is made up of two segments: "blue_simple" and "magenta_simple",
