Summary description: Dashed, dotted and dash-dotted line styles for the picture environment
Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fxpicture adds dashed, dotted and dash-dotted lines to LATEX’s picture environment. It builds on pict2e (the more modern version of picture), and gives it two declarations, \linestyle and \dashpattern. Like \linethickness, they last until the end of the group, and they apply to every line that pict2e strokes, from \line and \vector to \oval, \circle and Bézier curves. The inspiration for this comes from user requests with out LaTeX picture editor on https://fxEditor.codecogs.com
e.g. \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm} \begin{picture}(40,12) \linestyle{dotted} \put(0,10){\line(1,0){40}} \thicklines \put(0,5){\line(1,0){40}} \linethickness{1.2pt} \put(0,0){\line(1,0){40}} \end{picture} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
