There are only 5 different dashtypes predefined. You can add more by
your own. See "help dashtype".

Examples:
plot f(x) dt 3            # use terminal-specific dash pattern 3
plot f(x) dt ".. "        # construct a dash pattern on the spot
plot f(x) dt (2,5,2,15)   # numerical representation of the same pattern
set dashtype 11 (2,4,4,7) # define new dashtype to be called by index
plot f(x) dt 11           # plot using our new dashtype
