If this means that it would become possible to put a dashed line through text at approximately x or m height, I'm for it, too. It would make it a lot easier to build certain kinds of teaching materials for the lower primary grades, where some kids need the center line to drag their attention to

[whatwg] dashed lines on canvas

2008-02-08 Thread Scott Graham
Hi I'd like to add a vote for supporting dashed lines to strokes. I'm implementing a canvas-targeting renderer for PyX (http://pyx.sourceforge.net). The vast majority of the functionality maps very well (as PyX is originally targeted to PS/PDF), but attempting to emulate dashed lines is very

One possible use case of canvas are technical drawings. For even extremely simple drawings - think of a circle with centerlines and a diameter dimension - dash-dotted lines are needed as well as dimension text. I would like to see both (dashed lines and text) in future canvas versions. --

I vote for this. Consider doing any diagramming. It's a necessary feature. Eventually, I think canvas could be used for UML. Hey, wouldn't that be neat? You could have a llibrary that uses a canvas to do round-trip UML to generate real code. Dashed lines. -- site still down.
