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.
