Re: [Groff] Dashed Splines in pic.

[Daniel Senderowicz]

I don't know about PIC. But when I was working on the grn code, in
order to honor the gremlin line modes, I had to build dashed (and
dotted, dotted-dash) lines by breaking solid lines that is the only
line mode that groff outputs. The original troff had different line
modes.
