Ken,

I can't contribute much, just that I tried to look into it and can't replicate it. I tried it both with .Stex and .Rnw yielding identical results, just like plotting it interactively (on my default X11) and printing it via dev.copy2pdf(). All of the approaches seemed to yield the same output which looks ok.

Just for the record...

I'm having a problem with dotted lines (lty = 3) in the pdf output
in documents generated with Sweave.  In the displayed pdf, the
dotted line does not show up and in the printed output, it is
there but does not seem to respect the lwd argument, for example, it
is very faint despite using lwd = 3.  The dotted line is correct
in a quartz window and if I save the Quartz window to a pdf
and include it in the tex document, then the dotted line is there
at the correct line width.  Here is a short example, using the Stex
convention for Sweave.  I saved the quartz window in a file called
quartzSave.pdf after running the document through Sweave a first
time without the \includegraphics{quartzSave} line.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

Test of lty = 3 argument.

\begin{Scode}{fig=TRUE,eps=FALSE}
x <- 1:10
plot(x, type = "l", lty = 3, lwd = 3)
lines(x, 0.5 * x, type = "l")
\end{Scode}

Saved from Quartz window:

\includegraphics{quartzSave}


\end{document}

I have attached the pdf created by Sweave (which is missing the dotted
lines) in case it can get through the filter to R-help.
