Parameter	Range	Description
style	0x01 ... 0xFF	style of the line

This method allows a definition for a line style used by Draw.drawLine(int, int) and Draw.drawRectangle(int, int, int). The parameter style represents a bit mask where a 1 represents a pixel to be written and a 0 a pixel to be omitted. The following table shows some examples for line styles:

style
LINE_SOLID
LINE_DOTTED
LINE_DASHED_4_4 (4 pixel black, 4 pixel white)
LINE_DASHED_2_2 (2 pixel black, 2 pixel white)
LINE_DASH_DOTTED

• The default value for style is LINE_SOLID (solid line). It will be automatically set to default on startup and by the methods General.resetAll() or General.rebootPanelController().
• The least significant bit of style describes the first pixel painted when drawing a line from left to right.
• When line thickness is greater than 1 (refer to Attribute.setLineThickness(int)), every bit represents a dot with a diameter of line thickness. The line ending mode (refer to Attribute.setLineEndingMode(int)) is then taken into account as well.
• The current line style is used when a rectangle is painted allowing the drawing of various styles of rectangles as well. When using a line style other than LINE_SOLID, the two rectangular line caps styles lead to the same result (refer to Attribute.setLineCapsStyle(int)).

Example

Control.setLineStyle(Attribute.LINE_DASHED_2_2);
Attribute.setLineStyle(Attribute.LINE_DASHED_2_2);

These two methods are equivaltent and will set the line style to a dashed line with 2 pixels black and 2 pixels white.
