### dashedrect.py
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import cm, mm, inch
c=Canvas('dashedrect.pdf')

c.saveState()
c.setLineWidth(1)
c.setDash(3,1)
c.setStrokeColor((0.8,0.8,0.8)) #greyish rgb

y=2.5*cm
x=2.5*cm
w=h=1*cm
for i in xrange(5):
	if i==2:
		c.setDash([],0)			#continuous
		c.setStrokeColor((0,0,0))	#black
	c.rect(x+i*w,y,w,h,stroke=1,fill=0)
c.restoreState()
c.save()
