D2D1_DASH_STYLE enumeration

Describes the sequence of dashes and gaps in a stroke.

Syntax

typedef enum  { 
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_SOLID         = 0,
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH          = 1,
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DOT           = 2,
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT      = 3,
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT_DOT  = 4,
  D2D1_DASH_STYLE_CUSTOM        = 5
} D2D1_DASH_STYLE;

Constants

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_SOLID

A solid line with no breaks.

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH

A dash followed by a gap of equal length. The dash and the gap are each twice as long as the stroke thickness.

The equivalent dash array for D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH is {2, 2}.

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DOT

A dot followed by a longer gap.

The equivalent dash array for D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DOT is {0, 2}.

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT

A dash, followed by a gap, followed by a dot, followed by another gap.

The equivalent dash array for D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT is {2, 2, 0, 2}.

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT_DOT

A dash, followed by a gap, followed by a dot, followed by another gap, followed by another dot, followed by another gap.

The equivalent dash array for D2D1_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT_DOT is {2, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2}.

D2D1_DASH_STYLE_CUSTOM

The dash pattern is specified by an array of floating-point values.

Remarks

The following illustration shows several available dash styles.

Examples

The following example creates a stroke that uses a custom dash pattern.

// Dash array for dashStyle D2D1_DASH_STYLE_CUSTOM
float dashes[] = {1.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f};

// Stroke Style with Dash Style -- Custom
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    hr = m_pD2DFactory->CreateStrokeStyle(
        D2D1::StrokeStyleProperties(
            D2D1_CAP_STYLE_FLAT,
            D2D1_CAP_STYLE_FLAT,
            D2D1_CAP_STYLE_ROUND,
            D2D1_LINE_JOIN_MITER,
            10.0f,
            D2D1_DASH_STYLE_CUSTOM,
            0.0f),
        dashes,
        ARRAYSIZE(dashes),
        &m_pStrokeStyleCustomOffsetZero
        );
}

The next example uses the stroke style when drawing a line.

m_pRenderTarget->DrawLine(
    D2D1::Point2F(0, 310),
    D2D1::Point2F(200, 310),
    m_pCornflowerBlueBrush,
    10.0f,
    m_pStrokeStyleCustomOffsetZero
    );
