pdf_setlinecap

Name

pdf_setlinecap — Sets linecap parameter

Synopsis

bool pdf_setlinecap(pdf, type); resource pdf: PDF object identifier int type: Cap type

Returns

Always TRUE

Description

Sets the type of cap a line should have. These are normally only seen at large line widths although controlling how a line is squared off may be useful when drawing complex shapes or tables.

type can take values of 0, 1 or 2 which are:

`0`	Butt end caps. The stroke is squared off exactly at the end of the line
`1`	Round caps. The lines are rounded off with a half circle which has a diamter equal to the line width
`2`	Projecting caps. The ends of the line are square but the ends of the line move beyond the end of the stroke by a distance of half the line width

Version

Since versions 3.0.6 and 4.0

Example

Example 976. Show different caps

<?php

// create new document
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 500, 700);

// widen line
pdf_setlinewidth($pdf,5);

// set end to butt caps
pdf_setlinecap($pdf, 0);
pdf_moveto($pdf, 10, 650);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 450, 650);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

// set end to round caps
pdf_setlinecap($pdf, 1);
pdf_moveto($pdf, 10, 630);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 450, 630);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

// set end to projecting caps
pdf_setlinecap($pdf, 2);
pdf_moveto($pdf, 10, 610);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 450, 610);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
