Is there an easy way to make LaTeX produce dashed lines in the
picture environment? There is no mention of this in the LaTeX manual,
but p106 features a figure with dashed lines, so it must be possible.

There are several solutions ( Speaking from the wiev of LaTeX2e ).
With the command \qbezier you have an optional argument, where you can
specifie exactly how many points to plot.

In the package 'epic' you have commands \dottedline and \dashline.
You can specifie length of dashes(\dashline) and gaps between.

Maybe even more commands exist!

picture mode does not give dashed lines as such, but it
does give you \dashbox for making a dashed box.

Then what is \multiput for?

I have a dashline.sty that gives you dashed lines and vectors. Also, epic
has them (with a different syntax)
