AbsoluteDashing

AbsoluteDashing
is a graphics directive which specifies that lines which follow are to be drawn dashed, with successive segments having absolute lengths , , ... (repeated cyclically).
AbsoluteDashing[d]
is equivalent to AbsoluteDashing.
MORE INFORMATION
  • The absolute lengths are measured in units of printer's points, equal before magnification to of an inch.
  • AbsoluteDashing can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics, as well as in Style specifications.
  • If a segment has a length specified as 0, it is drawn as a dot whose diameter is the thickness of the line.

Basic Examples   (3)
Specify the dashing of lines as successive segments with lengths in printer's points:
Use Dashed, Dotted, and DotDashed to specify predefined absolute dashings:

Properties & Relations   (2)
AbsoluteDashing defines the length of a segment in units of printer's points:
AbsoluteDashing is independent of the image size:
Dashing defines the length of a segment as a fraction of the total width of the graphic:
Dashing depends on the image size:
