Sorry, my previous message said using lty="2" made line disappear. Wrong. What happens is that "2" is dots "3" is dashes BUT docs say "2" is dashes "3" is dots So there is an error in the docs.
Nope: lty=1 solid lty=2 dashed lty=3 dotted lty=4 dotdashed lty="1" pattern: 1 "dot" on, 1 "dot" off lty="2" pattern: 2 "dots" on, 2 "dots" off lty="3" pattern: 3 "dots" on, 3 "dots" off lty="32" pattern: 3 "dots" on, 2 "dots" off lty="124" pattern: 1 on, 2 off, 4 on, 1 off, 2 on, 4 off, ...and so forth... You can see this clearly if you start with par(lwd=5). As far as I can see without actually digging into the source, 2 == "4" 3 == "13" 4 == "3134" So the docs are OK, but perhaps we need to distinguish more clearly between integer and character lty's. The dot-dash pattern on X11 looks wrong, though. I think it should have been "1343", i.e. same pattern, reverse colors.
