Ken,

thanks for the report. The issue is really puzzling, because the line specification code has not changed since previous R versions (which work as expected) and I cannot reproduce it in any test applications (i.e. if I take the current Quartz code and run it outside R it works as expected). At any rate I'm continuing to investigate it and keep you posted.

Thanks,
Simon

There was some discussion about slowdowns in the new quartz device a few weeks ago that had to do with line drawing but I don't think that the following has been mentioned.

I've noticed a "new" behavior in the quartz device that can be seen by running

xx <- seq(1:100)
plot(xx, xx^2, type = "l", lty = 2)

On my display, the dash spacing disappears for xx < 40 for the default window size.
In addition, the dashes are obliterated by increasing the line width,

lines(xx, 0.5 * xx^2, lty = 2, lwd = 2)

unless I enlarge the window.  The same occurs for lty = 3.

The dash spacing seems to depend on the slope of the contour.

plot(rep(1, 100), lty = 2, type = "l", ylim = c(0, 100))
lines(xx, lty = 2)
lines(2 * xx, lty = 2)

This did not occur in an earlier version of R that I tried (R 2.2.0) and does not occur in other graphic devices that I have tried (x11 and pdf, so far).

Does anyone else see this?  Apologies in advance if this is normal
behavior.  Thank you.

best,
