The only option you have now is dashed lines.  If you bring up
the contour properties, check on the "Dashed" box.  Any values
below the "Base" value will be dashed.  This is useful to distinguish
positive and negative values.  If you want all lines dashed, just set
base to the maximum value.  Base is also used as a base for contour
lines, so make sure it's a multiple of the contour interval.

Work is underway to support other dashed line styles, but that
won't be completed until later in the year.
