Title: dot's .fig output does not honor dotted lines
Submitter: Eric Peskin

Subsys: Dot
Version: 1.8.5-0
System: x86-Linux-Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) 2.4.9-31 #1 i686
Severity: minor
Problem:
I was very happy to see that dot now has the option to produce .fig format. However, this output format does not seem to honor the style = "dotted" directive.

For example, try

echo "digraph G {X -> Y [style=dotted];}" | dot -Tfig > result.fig xfig result.fig

The edge is not dotted.
Input: 

digraph G {X -> Y [style=dotted];}
Output file: b128.fig
Comments:
From within the xfig GUI, I can then make the edge dotted, by choosing, the edit tool, clicking on the spline, and choosing Line style->Dotted, Apply, Done. So there must be a way to do it in the .fig file format as well.
