Example 1. Drawing a dashed line
`<?php $ps = ps_new(); if (!ps_open_file($ps, "polydash.ps")) { print "Cannot open PostScript file\n"; exit; } ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "polydash.php"); ps_set_info($ps, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann"); ps_set_info($ps, "Title", "Poly dash example"); ps_begin_page($ps, 596, 842); ps_setpolydash($ps, array(10, 5, 2, 5)); ps_moveto($ps, 100, 100); ps_lineto($ps, 200, 200); ps_stroke($ps); ps_end_page($ps); ps_delete($ps); ?>`
This example draws a line with a 10 and 2 points long line, and gaps of 5 points inbetween.
