Gsk.Stroke.set_dash

### Method

# Gsk Strokeset_dash

since: 4.14

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gsk_stroke_set_dash (
      GskStroke* self,
      const float* dash,
      gsize n_dash
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets the dash pattern to use.

A dash pattern is specified by an array of alternating non-negative values. Each value provides the length of alternate “on” and “off” portions of the stroke.

Each “on” segment will have caps applied as if the segment were a separate contour. In particular, it is valid to use an “on” length of 0 with `GSK_LINE_CAP_ROUND` or `GSK_LINE_CAP_SQUARE` to draw dots or squares along a path.

If `n_dash` is 0, if all elements in `dash` are 0, or if there are negative values in `dash`, then dashing is disabled.

If `n_dash` is 1, an alternating “on” and “off” pattern with the single dash length provided is assumed.

If `n_dash` is uneven, the dash array will be used with the first element in `dash` defining an “on” or “off” in alternating passes through the array.

You can specify a starting offset into the dash with `gsk_stroke_set_dash_offset()`.

Available since: 4.14
