Pen.DashCap Property

Definition

Gets or sets the cap style used at the end of the dashes that make up dashed lines drawn with this Pen.

public:
 property System::Drawing::Drawing2D::DashCap DashCap { System::Drawing::Drawing2D::DashCap get(); void set(System::Drawing::Drawing2D::DashCap value); };
public System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashCap DashCap { get; set; }
member this.DashCap : System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashCap with get, set
Public Property DashCap As DashCap

Property Value

One of the DashCap values that represents the cap style used at the beginning and end of the dashes that make up dashed lines drawn with this Pen.

Exceptions

The specified value is not a member of DashCap.

The DashCap property is set on an immutable Pen, such as those returned by the Pens class.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates creating a Pen and the effects of setting the DashCap, DashPattern, and SmoothingMode properties.

This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Paste the code into a form and call the ShowPensAndSmoothingMode method when handling the form's Paint event, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

private:
   void ShowPensAndSmoothingMode( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Set the SmoothingMode property to smooth the line.
      e->Graphics->SmoothingMode = System::Drawing::Drawing2D::SmoothingMode::AntiAlias;

      // Create a new Pen object.
      Pen^ greenPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Green );

      // Set the width to 6.
      greenPen->Width = 6.0F;

      // Set the DashCap to round.
      greenPen->DashCap = System::Drawing::Drawing2D::DashCap::Round;

      // Create a custom dash pattern.
      array<Single>^temp0 = {4.0F,2.0F,1.0F,3.0F};
      greenPen->DashPattern = temp0;

      // Draw a line.
      e->Graphics->DrawLine( greenPen, 20.0F, 20.0F, 100.0F, 240.0F );

      // Change the SmoothingMode to none.
      e->Graphics->SmoothingMode = System::Drawing::Drawing2D::SmoothingMode::None;

      // Draw another line.
      e->Graphics->DrawLine( greenPen, 100.0F, 240.0F, 160.0F, 20.0F );

      // Dispose of the custom pen.
      delete greenPen;
   }
private void ShowPensAndSmoothingMode(PaintEventArgs e)
{

    // Set the SmoothingMode property to smooth the line.
    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = 
        System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;

    // Create a new Pen object.
    Pen greenPen = new Pen(Color.Green);

    // Set the width to 6.
    greenPen.Width = 6.0F;

    // Set the DashCap to round.
    greenPen.DashCap = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashCap.Round;

    // Create a custom dash pattern.
    greenPen.DashPattern = new float[]{4.0F, 2.0F, 1.0F, 3.0F};

    // Draw a line.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(greenPen, 20.0F, 20.0F, 100.0F, 240.0F);

    // Change the SmoothingMode to none.
    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = 
        System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.None;

    // Draw another line.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(greenPen, 100.0F, 240.0F, 160.0F, 20.0F);

    // Dispose of the custom pen.
    greenPen.Dispose();
}
Private Sub ShowPensAndSmoothingMode(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Set the SmoothingMode property to smooth the line.
    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias

    ' Create a new Pen object.
    Dim greenPen As New Pen(Color.Green)

    ' Set the width to 6.
    greenPen.Width = 6.0F

    ' Set the DashCap to round.
    greenPen.DashCap = Drawing2D.DashCap.Round

    ' Create a custom dash pattern.
    greenPen.DashPattern = New Single() {4.0F, 2.0F, 1.0F, 3.0F}

    ' Draw a line.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(greenPen, 20.0F, 20.0F, 100.0F, 240.0F)

    ' Change the SmoothingMode to none.
    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.None

    ' Draw another line.
    e.Graphics.DrawLine(greenPen, 100.0F, 240.0F, 160.0F, 20.0F)

    ' Dispose of the custom pen.
    greenPen.Dispose()
End Sub

Remarks

Do not set this property to Triangle if the Pen has its Alignment property set to Inset.
