dashrule

Draw dashed rules.

The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, `\hdashrule`, which is a cross between LaTeX's \rule and PostScript's setdash command. `\hdashrule` draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as `\rule`, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using `\rule` (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript `\special`s) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor.
