.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies a multiplier for each bit in the line stipple pattern.
If _param1 is 3,
for example,
each bit in the pattern is used three times
before the next bit in the pattern is used.
_param1 is clamped to the range [1, 256] and defaults to 1.
_phead(_param2)
Specifies a 16-bit integer whose bit pattern determines
which fragments of a line will be drawn when the line is rasterized.
Bit zero is used first; the default pattern is all 1's.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Line stippling masks out certain fragments produced by rasterization;
those fragments will not be drawn.
The masking is achieved by using three parameters:
the 16-bit line stipple pattern _param2,
the repeat count _param1,
and an integer stipple counter $s$. 
.P
Counter $s$ is reset to 0 whenever _cmnd(Begin) is called,
and before each line segment of a _cmnd(Begin)(_const(LINES))/_cmnd(End)
sequence is generated.
It is incremented after each fragment of a unit width aliased line segment is generated,
or after each $i$ fragments of an $i$ width line segment are generated.
The $i$ fragments associated with count $s$ are masked out if
.sp
.ce
_param2 bit $(s ~/~ _eqnparam1) ~roman mod~ 16$ 
.sp
is 0, otherwise these fragments are sent to the frame buffer.
Bit zero of _param2 is the least significant bit.
.P
Antialiased lines are treated as a sequence of $1 times width$ rectangles
for purposes of stippling.
Whether rectagle $s$ is rasterized or not depends on the fragment rule
described for aliased lines,
counting rectangles rather than groups of fragments.
.P
To enable and disable line stippling, call _cmnd(Enable) and _cmnd(Disable)
with argument _const(LINE_STIPPLE).
When enabled,
the line stipple pattern is applied as described above.
When disabled,
it is as if the pattern were all 1's.
Initially, line stippling is disabled.
.SH ERRORS
_const(INVALID_OPERATION) is generated if _cmnd
is executed between the execution of _cmnd(Begin)
and the corresponding execution of _cmnd(End).
