Can you draw a vector, mess with that, and take an image of it, rather than directly drawing lines into an image using the imaging tools? Never done this...just hypothesizing...

Hi,
I have made a graphing application using Imaging Lingo that displays a dataset consisting of two pieces of data (2 lines), that can be overlaid by another set of similar data (2 more lines). The two datasets draw in different colours so they can be differentiated quite easily. The original idea within each dataset (2 lines of the same colour) was to do one as a dashed line. Unfortunately, Imaging lingo only provides us with one linetype - solid. My next thought was to use two different line thicknesses. This doesn't work very well for a number of reasons - the endpoints which meet perfectly at 1 pxl thickness do not meet at linesize > 1, and any segments drawn close to horizontal, become 1 pxl thick.
So..
has anyone come up with a way of drawing dashed lines between two arbitrary points, or has anyone solved the problems of using linesize values > 1 and creating a contiguous, consistent thickness line?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
