Complex Stroking

The Complex Stroking sample illustrates how to use the "Complex Stroke" API in LuciadRIA. This is a powerful API that allows you to stroke lines with complex patterns and add decorations at specific locations along the line. For example, you could draw a line with a sawtooth pattern and decorate it with arrows at the start and the end of the line.

When you open the sample, you will see various shapes and lines that are stroked using the Complex Stroke API. Every shape is labeled with an identifier. You can use this identifier to see how the shape is styled in the sample code.

You can select an object to start editing it. Notice how the patterns dynamically follow the shape while editing.

The Cookbook Theme is intended for developers. You can experiment with complex stroked line styles by changing sample snippets, or by creating new complex stroke styles and visualizing the results. You can also edit shapes to check how the complex stroke style is drawn over the vertices of a shape.
