DASHSCALE

Scales the lengths of the dashes in a dashed line.
Used by: GOPTIONS statement
Default: DASHSCALE=1
Restriction: not supported by Java or ActiveX

Syntax

DASHSCALE=scaling-factor

Parameter Values

scaling-factor
can be any number greater than 0. For example, GOPTIONS DASHSCALE=.5 reduces any existing dash length by one-half.

Details

Only dashes or spaces with lengths greater than one pixel are scaled. Dots are not scaled because their length is effectively zero. DASHSCALE= always uses system line styles instead of the device's dashed line capabilities.
