An indication of a polyline having multiple vertices and a stipple pattern of a not-a-power-of-two length are received. The stipple pattern is to be repeatedly rendered along the polyline. To reduce visual discontinuity, a texture of a power-of-two length, to be repeatedly applied along the polyline, is generated. The texture is made up of several whole instances of the stipple pattern and a portion of another instance of the stipple pattern defining remainder texels. The texture is modified so that visual pattern discontinuity substantially aligns with a vertex of the polyline at which a maximum amount of change in direction of the polyline occurs.
