Using dash_pattern in local_context

[JKomp]

I'm think I'm missing something subtle in how Python works. I'm trying to set a line dash pattern inside a local context. I know I can simply use set_dash_pattern as a stand alone instruction inside the local_context but the docs for local_context also provides a pass parameter dash_pattern and I'd like to use that to define my line attributes when starting the local context. Something like:

with myPDF.local_context(draw_color=(colors[6].r,colors[6].g,colors[6].b), stroke_opacity=colors[6].opacity, line_width=2.5, dash_pattern=(2,2))

I get:

fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.set_dash_pattern() argument after ** must be a mapping, not tuple

I've tried various syntax to correct the error but I'm missing how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

I needed to understand Python mappings better. Here's the correct syntax:

with myPDF.local_context(draw_color=(colors[6].r,colors[6].g,colors[6].b), stroke_opacity=colors[6].opacity, line_width=2.5, dash_pattern={'dash':2,'gap':2})
