struct StrokeAttributes

Elements' Summary
strokeWidth	Defines the width of the stroke, measured in the user coordinate space.
miterLimit	Determines the maximal length of the diagonal in mitered corners. This attribute is only used when joinType is set to miter. Should the length of a corner's diagonal exceed this limit, a bevelled join is used instead.
dashArray	Array of on and off lengths, measured in the user coordinate space. The first element specifies the length of the first 'on' segment of the dashing, the second element the length of the first 'off' segment, and so forth. Give zero elements here for solid strokes. This array always have an even number of elements, zero counting as even here.
lineArray	Array of line widths and spacings for multiple-line strokes. The entries here are relative to the strokeWidth attribute above, i.e. the total width of all lines and spacings will always equal strokeWidth. The first element specifies the width of the rightmost line, when travelling from the start point of the path to the end point. The second element specifies the space between the first line and the second line, and so forth. If the array ends with a spacing, this spacing is included in the total width of the multiple-line stroke. That is, the stroke gets asymmetric.
startType	The start shape of the stroke. The start point is the first point in the first polygon of the path polyPolygon.
endType	The end shape of the stroke. The end point is the last point in the last polygon of the path polyPolygon.
joinType	The join shape of the stroke. After every sub-stroke, i.e. after every line or curve segment within a single path polygon, a shape of this type is inserted into the stroke to glue the segments together. Please note that distinct polygons within the path polyPolygon are not connected, and therefore also not joined via the shape specified here.

Elements' Details

strokeWidth

double strokeWidth;

Description: Defines the width of the stroke, measured in the user coordinate space.

miterLimit

double miterLimit;

Description: Determines the maximal length of the diagonal in mitered corners. This attribute is only used when joinType is set to miter. Should the length of a corner's diagonal exceed this limit, a bevelled join is used instead.

dashArray

sequence< double > dashArray;

Description: Array of on and off lengths, measured in the user coordinate space. The first element specifies the length of the first 'on' segment of the dashing, the second element the length of the first 'off' segment, and so forth. Give zero elements here for solid strokes. This array always have an even number of elements, zero counting as even here.

lineArray

sequence< double > lineArray;

Description: Array of line widths and spacings for multiple-line strokes. The entries here are relative to the strokeWidth attribute above, i.e. the total width of all lines and spacings will always equal strokeWidth. The first element specifies the width of the rightmost line, when travelling from the start point of the path to the end point. The second element specifies the space between the first line and the second line, and so forth. If the array ends with a spacing, this spacing is included in the total width of the multiple-line stroke. That is, the stroke gets asymmetric.

startType

PathCapType startType;

Description: The start shape of the stroke. The start point is the first point in the first polygon of the path polyPolygon.

endType

PathCapType endType;

Description: The end shape of the stroke. The end point is the last point in the last polygon of the path polyPolygon.

joinType

PathJoinType joinType;

Description: The join shape of the stroke. After every sub-stroke, i.e. after every line or curve segment within a single path polygon, a shape of this type is inserted into the stroke to glue the segments together. Please note that distinct polygons within the path polyPolygon are not connected, and therefore also not joined via the shape specified here.
