dash effect

[mygu...@gmail.com]

I would like to know if I can make an effect similar to what the DashPathEffect object does in Android.

Unfortunatly the CN1 Stroke do not support dash patterns.

So unless your path is really basic (like a rectangle or a few straight lines), in which case you can probably paint the dash effect "by hand", (this is the approach used to render dashed components borders in CN1), it would be quite difficult.

Ok thanks,

In the end I used Bresenham's algorithm http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm#Java there are more algorithms but to make a straight line I opted for this.

To make the dash pattern I used the lineTo and moveTo functions of GeneralPath.
