Property Value

DoubleCollection

A collection of Double values that specifies the pattern of dashes and gaps.

Examples

These examples show the effects of different StrokeDashArray values applied to Lines and an Ellipse.

Remarks

A valid strokeDashString for the StrokeDashArray property describes a repeating pattern of strokes and gaps. Each Double in the collection specifies the length of a dash or gap relative to the Thickness of the pen. For example, a value of 1 creates a dash or gap that has the same length as the thickness of the pen (a square). You can use a space, a comma, or a mixture of both as the separator.

Because the pattern repeats, StrokeDashArray="1" has the same result as StrokeDashArray="1 1". If the collection has an odd number of values, the pattern alternates between starting with a stroke and starting with a gap, as shown in the examples.

You should typically use integral numeric values. Non-integral values can cause subpixel rendering and may alter the apparent color of the stroke.
