Getting and Setting Dashes

QuickDraw GX allows you to specify how contours of a shape should be dashed when drawn. In particular, you may specify a dash shape for any line, curve, rectangle, polygon, or path shape that has an open-frame shape fill or a closed-frame shape fill. You must always specify dash shapes in primitive form.

"The Dash Structure" on page 3-103 describes the gxDashRecord structure, which you use when retrieving or specifying dash information. That section also describes what types of shapes you may use as a dash shape.

You can use the GXGetStyleDash function to retrieve the dash information from a style object and the GXSetStyleDash function to specify dash information for a style object.

The GXGetShapeDash and GXSetShapeDash functions provide a way to retrieve and specify dash information for the style object associated with a particular shape.
