Instance Method Details

#dash(length = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Object Also known as: dash=

Sets the dash pattern for stroked lines and curves

length is the length of the dash. If options is not present,
or options[:space] is nil, then length is also the length of
the space between dashes

options may contain :space and :phase
   :space is the space between the dashes
   :phase is where in the cycle to begin dashing. For
          example, a phase of 0 starts at the beginning of
          the dash; whereas, if the phase is equal to the
          length of the dash, then stroking will begin at
          the beginning of the space. Default is 0

integers or floats may be used for length and the options

dash units are in PDF points ( 1/72 in )
