  <line x1="0" y1="1" x2="30" y2="1" stroke="black" />
 
  <!-- Dashes and gaps of the same size -->
  <line x1="0" y1="3" x2="30" y2="3" stroke="black"
          stroke-dasharray="4" />
 
  <!-- Dashes and gaps of different sizes -->
  <line x1="0" y1="5" x2="30" y2="5" stroke="black"
          stroke-dasharray="4 1" />
    
  <!-- Dashes and gaps of various sizes with an odd number of values -->
