Draw hidden lines as indicated in the wireframe
I am trying to draw all hidden lines (or portions of lines) as dashed (i.e. outlined) in a wireframe drawing. After a bit of research, it makes sense that this should be feasible by taking multiple render passes.
Here's what I have so far.
// -- preamble stuff --
gl.glClearColor(1.f, 1.f, 1.f, 1.f);
gl.glShadeModel(GL.GL_SMOOTH);
gl.glDepthFunc(GL.GL_LEQUAL);
gl.glLineWidth(2);
gl.glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// -- render hidden lines with stipple set, color mask enabled, depth buffer disabled --
gl.glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
gl.glColorMask(true, true, true, true);
gl.glLineStipple(1, (short) 0x00FF);
gl.glEnable(GL_LINE_STIPPLE);
gl.glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);
renderGLDisplayLists(); // -- does the rendering
// -- render in fill mode with color mask disabled, depth buffer enabled --
gl.glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
gl.glColorMask(false, false, false, false);
gl.glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL);
renderGLDisplayLists();
// -- final pass to render visible lines --
gl.glColorMask(true, true, true, true);
gl.glEnable(GL_LINE);
gl.glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);
renderGLDisplayLists();
I have added what happens when I run this on a particular case that I am working on.

You should draw the finish line last with depth buffer enabled, but vice versa and read only
//just drew the fills
gl.glDepthMask(false);
lg.glDepthFunc(gl.GL_GREATER);//reverses the depth buffer
//render
gl.glColorMask(true, true, true, true);
gl.glLineStipple(1, (short) 0x00FF);
gl.glEnable(GL_LINE_STIPPLE);
gl.glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);
renderGLDisplayLists(); // -- does the rendering
gl.glDepthMask(true);
lg.glDepthFunc(gl.GL_LESS);//restores the depth buffer
