JavaFX Canvas misses API to set dashed line stroke

Hello,

I have created a small open source library that provides a bridge from Java2D to the JavaFX Canvas:

https://github.com/jfree/fxgraphics2d

Unfortunately I have so far not been able to support dashed lines, since the GraphicsContext from the JavaFX Canvas doesn't provide any API to set the line dash attributes.  Did I miss something, or is there really no way to specify dashed lines?  I know this is possible in the Shape API (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/shape/Shape.html#getStrokeDashArray()) but I am specifically interested in drawing dashed lines on the JavaFX Canvas.  Any pointers will be appreciated.

Best regards,

David
