My untested theory based on memory of previous use:
* Each box is a line style (that penstyle refers to)
* Each pair of numbers within a line style represents a length of "drawn" line
followed by a length of "not-drawn" line.
So the first line style (index 0) is a solid line ("not-drawn" bits are zero
length).
The 2nd line style (index 1) has drawn line lengths of 12 interspersed with
non-drawn line lengths of 6.
Hope that is of some use until you get a more definitive answer.
