DALineStyle Class


Creates a DALineStyle object that represents a (potentially) animated line style. The object defines the various line styles to use when drawing lines. These styles includes the shape of the end of a line, the shape of joints between intersecting lines, the width of the line, and whether the line is drawn with a continuous stroke or as a sequence of dashes.

Use DALineStyle objects with the Draw function in the DAPath2 class.

This class inherits from DABehavior.
