# lineDashPhase

The offset (in points) at which to start drawing the dash pattern.

```
var lineDashPhase: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Use this property to start drawing a dashed line partway through a segment or gap. For example, a phase value of `6` for the pattern 5-2-3-2 would cause drawing to begin in the middle of the first gap.

The default value of this property is `0`.
