Line Attributes class.

This class is used (in general by secondary inheritance)
by many other classes (graphics, histograms). It holds all the line attributes.

## Line attributes
Line attributes are:

  - [Line Color](#L1)
  - [Line Width](#L2)
  - [Line Style](#L3)

## <a name="L1"></a> Line Color
The line color is a color index (integer) pointing in the ROOT
color table.
The line color of any class inheriting from `TAttLine` can
be changed using the method `SetLineColor` and retrieved using the
method `GetLineColor`.
The following table shows the first 50 default colors.

Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","Line colors",0,0,500,200);
   c->DrawColorTable();
}
End_Macro

### Color transparency
`SetLineColorAlpha()`, allows to set a transparent color.
In the following example the line color of the histogram `histo`
is set to blue with a transparency of 35%. The color `kBlue`
itself remains fully opaque.

~~~ {.cpp}
histo->SetLineColorAlpha(kBlue, 0.35);
~~~

The transparency is available on all platforms when the `flagOpenGL.CanvasPreferGL` is set to `1`
in `$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc`, or on Mac with the Cocoa backend. On the file output
it is visible with PDF, PNG, Gif, JPEG, SVG ... but not PostScript.


## <a name="L2"></a> Line Width
The line width is expressed in pixel units.
The line width of any class inheriting from `TAttLine` can
be changed using the method `SetLineWidth` and retrieved using the
method `GetLineWidth`.
The following picture shows the line widths from 1 to 10 pixels.

Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *Lw = new TCanvas("Lw","test",500,200);
   TText  t;
   t.SetTextAlign(32);
   t.SetTextSize(0.08);
   Int_t i=1;
   for (float s=0.1; s<1.0 ; s+=0.092) {
      TLine *lh = new TLine(0.15,s,.85,s);
      lh->SetLineWidth(i);
      t.DrawText(0.1,s,Form("%d",i++));
      lh->Draw();
   }
}
End_Macro

## <a name="L3"></a> Line Style
Line styles are identified via integer numbers. The line style of any class
inheriting from `TAttLine` can be changed using the method
`SetLineStyle` and retrieved using the method `GetLineStyle`.

The first 10 line styles are predefined as shown on the following picture:

Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *Ls = new TCanvas("Ls","test",500,200);
   TText  t;
   t.SetTextAlign(32);
   t.SetTextSize(0.08);
   Int_t i=1;
   for (float s=0.1; s<1.0 ; s+=0.092) {
      TLine *lh = new TLine(0.15,s,.85,s);
      lh->SetLineStyle(i);
      t.DrawText(0.1,s,Form("%d",i++));
      lh->Draw();
   }
}
End_Macro


Additional line styles can be defined using `TStyle::SetLineStyleString`.
For example the line style number 11 can be defined as follow:
~~~ {.cpp}
   gStyle->SetLineStyleString(11,"400 200");
~~~
Existing line styles (1 to 10) can be redefined using the same method.
