The counter, accessed through StippleCounter<\/a> property, wraps itself automatically at the edges of color array. It can move in both directions depending on stipple step, which in turn can be positive or negative. Its value may even be fractional in which case the resulting color is interpolated. The step is accessed with StippleStep<\/a> property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The GetStippleColor<\/a> function returns the color from the current counter position and automatically increments counter position by the counter step, so that next GetStippleColor<\/a> call will return a color value from the next position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Drawing functions that support line patterns have ‘P’ in their postfix<\/a> (as in LineFSP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following code snippet draws a dashed line made up of alternating white dashes and red dots.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWarning<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> The stipple counter is not thread-aware; It is shared by all threads accessing the bitmap.
Additional care should be taken when multiple threads draw stippled lines in the same bitmap.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nExamples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
