Procedural Dashed Lines

Issue #22 new
Rick Barrett created an issue

A generator that creates dashed splines based on spline input. Input (and ideally output) should match Illustrator.

Rick's Implementation (attached): It pretty much works as long as the dash length is short. As the dashes get longer though, you lose the curvature, because I didn't figure out how to set the intermediate points to maintain the same curvature. You can change the dash length by adjusting line 19 of the generator - bump it to 100+ to start seeing the issue.

Donovan's thoughts: Cool! Seems like you could use the LineObject (subdivided spline) generated by the initial spline, and then just generate long dashes that are more than two points long.
