One of the prime reasons that Wingz is being purchased is its fantastic 
range of graphing options available. However, there is one very important 
detail they missed out on, and that has driven us back to other 
alternatives. Why cannot Wingz render a decent dashed line, a chain line 
and a couple of other basic line types (Excel has 4 or 5 line types)? 
Instead they have these insane patterns which one has to juggle around 
with, to get some semblance of a line that is different from the usual 
solid line. This fails miserably, especially if one is using 1 point thick 
lines (as is the case with most x-y graphs), and the pattern has no way of 
showing up. Since there must be other users facing the same problem with 
non-availability of multiple line types, I would like to know how they got 
around it (if they could). I am not averse to using Hyperscript to get 
around the problem. In case there is no solution, could we collectively 
crib to Informix to include this (very important) capability in their next 
release ?

p.s. Has anyone heard of any fix for Wingz crashing on the second launch 
under 6.0.5 ?
