undocumented dash style/method

[passenger94]

!!!

Shoes.app do
    stack left: 50, top: 50, width: 400, height: 400 do
        border brown, strokewidth: 5, dash: :onedot

        line 0,200,400,200, dash: :onedot, stroke: green, strokewidth: 3
        oval 200,150,150,50, center: true, fill: orange, dash: :onedot, stroke: red, strokewidth: 3
        shape left: 200, top: 250, fill: orange, dash: :onedot, stroke: red, strokewidth: 3 do
            move_to -175,0
            line_to 125, -30; line_to 10,50; line_to -175,0
        end
    end
end

Probably WIP as there is only one variant :onedot if i don't miss something ...

It's still true -- Nobody knows Shoes~

The manual for this one will be pretty short as it only supports one option :onedot. Is there a way to see what options are available for styles? for example

para "Shoes", align: "center" 

align can also be "left" and "right" but how do I find this (except from the manual)? Is there a command to see all available options for shoes elements styles and options?

One funny thing is that besides the shapes above :onedot is also available for arrow. The difference is almost unnoticeable. Probably because the arrow length/thick ratio is too small. Unless there is a way to set arrow length independently of the width, :onedot is useless for that element.

P.S. My bad it works for arrow and rectangle. You just need to set the fill to a colour different than black.

Shoes.app do
   arrow(40, 40, 60)
   arrow(40, 120, 60,dash: :onedot, fill: green)
end

:onedot and :nodot are supported according to the C source code.

This is the purpose of the manual, amongst other things.

Styles are defined at C level without Ruby/Shoes counterpart. Shoes has no way to know about styles. They are literally parsed as you can see here: https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/blob/master/shoes/ruby.c#L2776

One funny thing is that besides the shapes above :onedot is also available for arrow. The difference is almost unnoticeable.

This is a good catch. One would wonder why arrow cannot be of different length. Perhaps opening an issue about arrow length would be advisable.

Pushed the final version of Dash to the master. Let me know if anything should be changed. Otherwise we can close this one.

Sorry for the formatting errors :(
