Unity Scripting Reference lacks an entry for GL.lineWidth

There should be an entry for GL.lineWidth denoting NOT IMPLEMENTED.

There is no way to specify line's thickness. (other than color)

Same applies to Gizmos.lineWidth.

search keyword: glLineWidth()

Yes, the GL class does not expose full OpenGL. Major reason: it has to work on Direct3D as well - and it does, but exposing all OpenGL in a way that would work on all platforms is insane amount of work.

I think what you're after could be done by using Line Renderer with a texture that has the stipple pattern.

If for some reason Line Renderer does not suit you, you'd have to manually draw quads with the stipple texture anyway, since other platforms than OpenGL can't draw wide or stippled lines. So each line would be a quad in screen space, with the stipple texture (in fact, OpenGL drivers do this behind the scenes AFAIK).

You can have a look here for implementing quads using OpenGL

It's quite unlikely we'll expose OpenGL's line width. It only works on OpenGL and nowhere else (not even OpenGL ES), and the drivers internally just "emulate" it anyway, by drawing quads for each line segment.

(btw "GL" class name in Unity is more like a "Graphics Library" -- it does not, and never has, been "expose OpenGL API")
