Hi,  
I’ve been looking at the Line reference and could not find anything that might possibly match. I’m looking for a way to create a stacked bar chart where one dataset would be represented by dotted/dashed border lines like here

Is it even possible?

Not at the moment unfortunately, we don’t support `line.dash` setting around bars.
