#1781 -dashofset option doesnt work on ms windows build

[Anonymous]

Refering to Bug 1051589 in the tcl section:
canvas -dashoffset option dosen't work on windows
The general canvas option "-dashoffset" has no
influence in windows releases. Please test the attached
script (improved for windows test).
You will see moving dashes on Linux OS but static ones
on windows. I already tested all current releases, it
doesnt work.

This is a limitation of the Windows version of Tk. On Windows, only certain dash patterns and no dash offsets are supported. Refer to Tk_GetDash man page (which could be amended to clarify that dash offsets are also not supported under Windows).

Using ExtCreatePen, maybe some current liminations can be handled now. See:
