Painting shapes in JavaFX-CodePudding

I created a simple paint program which allows the user to choose between 4 shapes(line,circle,rectangle,ellipse) , the user can change the width height and stroke width , he can save the design he makes , undo and redo , the user can also choose the stroke type (solid or dashed) , I'm facing one problem , when the user picks dashed as the stroke type , I want him to be able to choose the thickness of the stroke , it works perfectly fine with the solid , but with the dashed it's just increasing or decreasing the number of dashed lines , any idea on how I can fix the number of dashed lines and increase the thickness of the dashed lines.

NOTE : I'm using the rectangle shape in the code to make the code small.

Here's the CODE :

CodePudding user response：

You have to set a width for the dashed line too. Setting line dashes to the line width does not make much sense unless you want something that looks more like a dotted line. And you need the dash offset only in specific cases but not in general.
