When an application creates a dotted line using a dotted pen and
the R2_NOT mode, a solid line is drawn on the screen.
CAUSE
The background mode is OPAQUE. This is the default background mode.
In this mode, the line is painted with the background color first,
followed by the pen.
RESOLUTION
Use the SetBkMode() function to set the mode to TRANSPARENT. In
this mode, only the pen is used; the background is not disturbed.
