C#

public void SetLineCap_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create a Pen object with a dash pattern.
    Pen capPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 5);
    capPen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
             
    // Set the start and end caps for capPen.
    capPen.SetLineCap(LineCap.ArrowAnchor, LineCap.Flat, DashCap.Flat);
             
    // Draw a line with capPen.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(capPen, 10, 10, 200, 10);
