Hype Beta 636, looks like its either line draw or line dash and two are not the same. When trying to animate a line draw to simulate a trail path with dash values 4 to 4 theres no way to do that. Im guessing theres no way I can animate a dashed line with a draw line?

I think you’d need code to update and adapt every frame to offset for the new position in the line draw. I’m not sure what this would look like because I don’t know off the top of my head how the CSS and SVG line offsets fully interact. You could potentially use the math equation and run javascript…

I understand, you’ve done an incredible job on hype 4 beta as is, so thank you. I’m sure this will be included after major release 4 and until then I’m going to be using the above method. When it comes to css, are you referring to what you could’ve done or it can be done now by styling it via Edit H…

isn’t it an optical Illusion¿ caused by speed … Human being: never trust your eyes :slight_smile:

May look like an optical illusion but its clearly changing from dots to dash and Im not sure if speed is affecting it . A solution would be great to just have rounded dots?

[image] petester: its clearly changing from dots to dash it's not! it just looks like, because of an optical illusion ... or? export to video allows to examine it :slight_smile:

Exported it as 30 FPS Its clearly a dash, yes. Hypes optimal frame rate is 60 FPS or higher so when previewing its making it look like theres a dot. How do I convert a dash into a dot?

[image] petester: How do I convert a dash into using the border as 5 px? What does this mean¿

What I meant to say is 5px border dots vs dash? I noticed that when its 1px border it kinda looks like dots but its too small which is why I wanted to see it bigger¿<— is this your signature question mark?
