# Bio::Graphics::Glyph::dashed\_line(3pm)

The "dashed line" glyph

## NAME

Bio::Graphics::Glyph::dashed\_line - The "dashed line" glyph

## SYNOPSIS

```
  See L<Bio::Graphics::Panel> and L<Bio::Graphics::Glyph>.
```

## DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws a dashed line. The lengths of the dash and the space are configurable. The space can be filled with a different color, thus making a two-colored line. Also, the two colors can be "sheared".

### OPTIONS

In addition to the common options, the following glyph-specific options are recognized:

```
  Option      Description                  Default
  ------      -----------                  -------
  -dash_size  Width of one dash              6
  -space_size Width of one space             3
              between dashes
  -space_color Color of the space            none
              between dashes
  -shear      Whether to use shearing       0
              (1 or 0)
  -linewidth  Standard option, but          1
              important here
```
