I have set the following

FPDF.SetLineWidth(0.5);

FPDF.SetLineColorCMYK(0,0,0,0.5);

FPDF.SetLineDash(0.5,0.5);

FPDF.SetLineJoin(1);

But when I use the Path methods to draw a box it doesn't use rounded corners.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Russell

Hi Russel,

i'm not familiar with this functionality but what about SetClippingPath?

In the documentation about SetLineJoin i've read about "subsequently drawn graphics"...

Hi Ingo

I don't think that is the answer.

I think SetLineJoin must be designed to work with the Path methods as that is the only place I can see a line join being down within the system. DrawBox maybe, but then why have DrawRoundedBox?

I'll take this up with support.

An update.

It does work but not how I was expecting. The line width I was using was too small to show the curve.

I guess I'll have to try DrawRoundedBox now, but that seems to need a lot of calculation to give the right size compared with the path methods. But I'll see where I get and post back.
