ComposePathEffect example

android.graphics.ComposePathEffect create PathEffect from other two PathEffects, to apply first the inner effect and the outer pathEffect.

Here is a example to create ComposePathEffect from CornerPathEffect and DashPathEffect, in various combination.

Where:

• paint0: no effect
• paint1: CornerPathEffect
• paint2: DashPathEffect
• paint3: ComposePathEffect(cornerPathEffect, dashPathEffect)
• paint4: ComposePathEffect(dashPathEffect, cornerPathEffect)
• paint5: ComposePathEffect(cornerPathEffect, cornerPathEffect)
• ComposePathEffect(another dashPathEffect, dashPathEffect)
