Hi fellow developers,

I have a requirement to draw a path on a canvas (which is easy
enough), but to then "stamp" symbols over it every few pixels.

In particular, the symbols I want to stamp over it are .png images,
and basically change the line so that it contains 'x' shapes on it -
as an example - but the shape can be any thing that can be loaded from
a .png image. This could produce a line that looks like:

--x--x--x--x--x-- etc. - but with the 'x' shapes rotated according to
the angle of the line.

Is there any particular way that this can be done? I've gone through
the following classes - Paint, Path, PathEffect, Canvas and Bitmap -
but cannot find any way to implement the above.

The closest thing I've seen is the DashPathEffect - but all this can
do is break up the line so that dashes are included.

My feeling at this point is that I'm going to have to create a custom
PathEffect which can do this. Is this the correct approach? Have I
missed something glaringly obvious? Could any one give some advise
with regards to how to create custom PathEffects ?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards
