ABSTRACT:
A method is described to render a line stipple pattern in an ad hoc piecewise fashion by creating a texture map having information that represents the line stipple pattern. The method also includes, for each of a plurality of line primitives that each represent a different section of the line stipple pattern, mapping a section of the texture map's information to its corresponding line primitive.
