Drawing the dash line

[frankmail007]

Hi,

I have a very simple question. Is there is a function I can use to draw dash
line in Java AWT.

Thanks,

Frank

There are none that I know of but you can use something like this if you need
it,

protected void drawDashedLine(Graphics g, Point a, Point b,
int dashLen, int spaceLen)
{
int dely = Math.abs(a.y-b.y)/Math.abs(a.x-b.x);
int delx = Math.abs(a.x-b.x)/Math.abs(a.y-b.y);
int jumpLen = dashLen + spaceLen;

for(int x = a.x, y = a.y; x < b.x; x+= delx*jumpLen, y+= dely*jumpLen)
{
if(x+delx*dashLen > b.x || y+dely*dashLen > b.y)
g.drawLine(x, y, b.x, b.y);
else
g.drawLine(x,y,x+delx*dashLen, y+dely*dashLen);
}
}

I think this works perfectly
Hope this was of help

Sorry, the function that I gave you has quite a few major errors in it, but
I think you will have to develop something similar though.
