Question on the "dotted" keyword in Lines() object

[jkissi]

Hi Marco!!
It's been a while, I hope you are well!
I am trying to get the Lines() object to show a dotted line using the keyword but the lines always seem to come out solid. Could you please show a quick example of this working? In the docs, it states that its a simple boolean...this is correct, no?

Cheers

Hi, the dotted feature is less than perfect... You may explore one of these options:

from vedo import *
pts = [[1, 0, 0], [5, 2, 0], [3, 3, 1]]
ln = Line(pts, c='r', lw=5).pattern('- -', repeats=10)
ln.show(axes=1).close()

ln = DashedLine(pts, c='r', lw=4)
ln.show(axes=1).close()

ln = Line([5, 2, 0], [3, 3, 1], res=50).ps(5).c('r').lighting("off")
ln.show(axes=1).close()

Just to be sure, I can't use the .pattern() example with the Lines() object, can I?
