lineStyle() does not work properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. set the linestyle to 0 thickness or 0 alpha
2. create a shape using rect, lineto, or any other drawing technique 
3. observe the lines in the result

there should be no visible lines in the result. Opacity will work on the lines 
though.

latest on mac os X 10.5.4

Tried to find out what caused the problem in the source. Couldnt find the 
problem immediately so i 
settled for a temporary workaround.

Hi tommy,

I just tried the following code :

myPDF.lineStyle( new RGBColor ( 0x990000 ), 1, 0, 0 );

myPDF.drawRect( new Rectangle ( 0, 0, 80, 80 ) );

In the result I see no lines drawn which is the normal behavior. Do you have a
different result ?

Can you paste me the part of your code which causes this behavior ?

let me know,

best,

Thibault

Even with the latest sources (PDF.as, rev. 262) I can't get it to work properly:
 - Setting the thickness to anything less than 1 is ignored.
 - Setting the lineStyle alpha also changes the fill's one.
 - We can't draw rectangles without strokes!

I'd need that badly, please help!

This issue is still not resolved - are there any updates on this ?

This issue is still present.
Setting the thickness to 0 and the lines still appear.
Setting the alpha to 0 and any fills that are on the shape become transparent.

Thibault any ideas?

Hello,

In PDF.setAlpha(), we have the following implementation-

var graphicState:int = addExtGState( { 'ca' : alpha, 'SA' : true, 'CA' : alpha, 
'BM' : '/' + blendMode } );

setExtGState ( graphicState );

In PDFReference document, what I studied is that graphics state "ca" is 
transparency value for non-stroking operations and "CA" is transparency for 
stroke operations. As both of these states are passed with same value, fill is 
also getting affected when stroke transparency value is set. 

So what I did is passed different values to both the states that is {"ca":1, 
"CA": 0}Now the line is not visibile but the only problem is some transparency 
is set to the fill so as a result the quality of PDF is not 100%. 

Example if i give blue (0,0,255) as fill color, after making the above change, 
the blue value is becomming (53,82,165)

If anyone has found any solution or workaround please share it with me.

I have attached the PDF generated with above change.

Thanks & Regards,

Charly
