Syntax:

bool ImagickDraw::setStrokeDashArray( array $dashArray )

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter $dashArray which holds the stroke dash.

Return Value: This function returns TRUE on success.

Exceptions: This function throws ImagickException on error.

Below given programs illustrate the ImagickDraw::setStrokeDashArray() function in PHP:
