AbsoluteDashing
AbsoluteDashing[{d1,d2,…}]
is a graphics directive which specifies that lines which follow are to be drawn dashed, with successive segments having absolute lengths d1, d2, … (repeated cyclically).
is equivalent to AbsoluteDashing[{d,d}].
Details

- The absolute lengths are measured in units of printer's points, equal before magnification to
of an inch.
- AbsoluteDashing[{}] specifies that lines should be solid. »
- AbsoluteDashing can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics, as well as in Style specifications.
- The following symbolic forms for d can be used: Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large. »
- If a segment has a length di specified as 0, it is drawn as a dot whose diameter is the thickness of the line.

AbsoluteDashing defines the length of a segment in units of printer's points:
AbsoluteDashing is independent of the image size:
Dashing defines the length of a segment as a fraction of the total width of the graphic:
