LINETYPE¶
A Linetype defines a line pattern, which can be used by DXF entities. A Linepattern can contain solid line elements, points and gaps (see LINEPATTERN).
Create a linetype:
drawing.add_linetype(name, pattern=linepattern)
is a shortcut for:
linetype = DXFEngine.linetype(name, pattern=linepattern)
drawing.linetypes.add(linetype)
-
DXFEngine.linetype(name, **kwargs)¶ Parameters: - name (string) – linetype name
- flags (int) – standard flag values, bit-coded, default=0
- description (string) – descriptive text for linetype, default=”“
- pattern – line pattern definition, see method DXFEngine.linepattern
The following Linetypes are predefined by dxfwrite:
CONTINUOUS: Solid
CENTER: Center ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____
CENTERX2: Center (2x) ________ __ ________ __ ________
CENTER2: Center (.5x) ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____
DASHED: Dashed __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _
DASHEDX2: Dashed (2x) ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____

LINEPATTERN¶
Create a linepattern:
linepattern = DXFEngine.linepattern(pattern)
-
DXFEngine.linepattern(pattern)¶ Parameters: pattern – is a list of float values, elements > 0 are solid line segments, elements < 0 are gaps and elements = 0 are points. pattern[0] = total pattern length in drawing units
example linepattern([1.75, 1.25, -0.25, 0, -0.25])
