## Public constructors

### PathDashPathEffect

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public PathDashPathEffect (Path shape, 
                float advance, 
                float phase, 
                PathDashPathEffect.Style style)
```

Dash the drawn path by stamping it with the specified shape. This only
applies to drawings when the paint's style is STROKE or STROKE_AND_FILL.
If the paint's style is FILL, then this effect is ignored. The paint's
strokeWidth does not affect the results.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `shape` | `Path`: The path to stamp along <br /> |
| `advance` | `float`: spacing between each stamp of shape <br /> |
| `phase` | `float`: amount to offset before the first shape is stamped <br /> |
| `style` | `PathDashPathEffect.Style`: how to transform the shape at each position as it is stamped <br /> |
