The lineDashOffset property
The lineDashOffset
option is an array property, that is used to set the
pattern of the lineDash
when drawing lines. For example,
you can use this setting to make a dotted line or a spaced-out dash
pattern. By increasing this property over time, you can also
create an animation effect.
An example
<script> window.onload = function () { var canvas = document.getElementById("cvs"); var context = canvas.getContext('2d'); context.lineDashOffset = 3; context.setLineDash([3,6]); context.beginPath(); context.arc(125,125,50,0,2 * Math.PI, false); context.stroke(); } </script>
