Blitter line-drawing mode?

I will be wanting to draw lots of patterned lines and the blitter can apparently do this with a special mode. I've taken the example from here: http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD.../node02DF.html

and tried to turn it into a statement. I just get a black screen (with some fiddling I got a white line but not where I expected). I suspect I'm not setting up a register properly but the details are beyond me.

Anyone got any ideas?

Code:
;d0=x1 d1=y1 d2=x2 d3=y2 d4=width
#CUSTOM=$DFF000
#DMACONR=$02+#CUSTOM
#BLTCON0=$40+#CUSTOM

Width isn't the width of the line, it is the width of the screen you have open.

so if you have a 1 bitplane screen with a 320x200 resolution then your width should equal 40. (320/8 = 40).

Ha! Thanks for that. It looks like I should RTFM more closely!

Quote:
The C and D pointer registers should be initialized to the word
containing the first pixel of the line; the C and D modulo registers
should be set to the width of the bitplane in bytes.
