Could some kind soul please explain X11's line styles.  In particular,
XSetDashes and how the values in the dash_list control which pixels are
colored.  Could you also relate this to the standard hardware line style
register technique where a bit value of 1 means color that pixel with the
current foreground color and a zero bit value means do nothing.

Thanks,
