1. A method of generating dashed stroked quadratic Bèzier path segments, the method comprising: receiving a quadratic Bèzier path segment and a dash pattern; determining that a current dash pattern element spans more than one quadratic Bèzier path segment; computing a remaining distance for the current dash pattern element of the dash pattern; computing an arc length of the quadratic Bèzier path segment; and subdividing the quadratic Bèzier path segment based on the remaining distance for the current dash pattern element and the arc length of the quadratic Bèzier path segment to generate “on” dash pattern segments of the quadratic Bèzier path segment.
