Hi Thorsten

On a roll today, even got User defined Coordinates working

Can you tell me, what does Draw::#DPI do?

Edit: I see it now: DesktopScaled

Hi Thorsten

It looks like there is a snag with using DesktopScaled for individual drawing entities, the units of measure are then tied to Pixels only? Most drawing work is done in either millimeters or inches.

I think it should be OK to work without this feature, until now I have found it adequate to ensure the Compiler dpi aware option is selected. Food for thought for those that need it.

Edit: Now I'm not sure Am I over thinking it? If I change the outputs of dpiX and dpiY to doubles, then accuracy shouldn't be lost if the Units are inches or mm.

Hi Thorsten

Would it be possible to introduce support for Dash, Dot and Custom Dash types?

Plus the different line endings available?

#PB_Path_Default : No special behavior (default value)
#PB_Path_RoundEnd : Draw the line(s) with a rounded ends
#PB_Path_SquareEnd : Draw the line(s) with a square box at the ends
#PB_Path_RoundCorner : Draw the line(s) with rounded corners
#PB_Path_DiagonalCorner : Draw the line(s) with diagonally cut corners

Update:

• SetDotPattern(LineWidth.d, Array Pattern.d(1), Flags.i=#False, StartOffset.d=0)
• Added: DisableDotPattern(State.i=#True)

Thanks Thorsten

Hi Thorsten

There, but not implemented?

#RoundEnd = #PB_Path_RoundEnd
#SquareEnd = #PB_Path_SquareEnd
#RoundCorner = #PB_Path_RoundCorner
#DiagonalCorner = #PB_Path_DiagonalCorner
