I need to draw a horizontal dotted line in pdf using TCPDF. I tried:

$style = array('width' => 0.1, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => 1, 'color' => array(0, 0, 0));
$pdf->Line(5, 50, 100, 50, $style);

I used the dash parameter. When I set it to 1 it draws short dashes, but I need dots. I did not find an explanation of the style parameters or any manual on the internet.

Please use the below code for the draw horizontal dotted line in pdf using TCPDF and apply a style to it.

enter image description here

<?php

require_once('tcpdf.php');

// create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

// disable header and footer
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);

// set font
$pdf->SetFont('helvetica', '', 10);

// add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

//set 'width' => 0.1, 'dash' => '1,1,1,1' as per your requirement
$style = array('width' => 0.5, 'dash' => '2,2,2,2', 'phase' => 0, 'color' => array(255, 0, 0));

// Line
$pdf->Text(5, 4, 'Line examples');
$pdf->Line(5, 20, 200, 20, $style);

//Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('line_example.pdf', 'I');

I hope this helps!

You can have dots, if you want to.

Just set the cap to round in the style properties:

$style = array('width' => 0.5, 'cap => 'round', 'dash' => '2,2,2,2', 'phase' => 0, 'color' => array(255, 0, 0));
