Dashing
Dashing[{r1,r2,…}]
is a two-dimensional graphics directive specifying that lines that follow are to be drawn dashed, with successive segments of lengths r1, r2, … (repeated cyclically). The ri are given as a fraction of the total width of the graph.
Details

- Dashing can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics, as well as in Style specifications.
- Dashing[{}] specifies that lines should be solid. »
- The following symbolic forms for r can be used: Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large. These specify absolute segment lengths independent of the total width of the graphic. »
- If a segment has a length ri specified as 0, it is drawn as a dot whose diameter is the thickness of the line. »

Use Dashed, Dotted, and DotDashed to specify predefined absolute dashings:
Dashing defines the length of a segment as a fraction of the total width of the graphic:
Dashing depends on the image size:
AbsoluteDashing defines the length of a segment in units of printer's points:
AbsoluteDashing is independent of the image size:
The thickness of segments can be specified by Thickness:
A segment with length 0 specifies a dot of the size defined by Thickness:
