 Simple linestyles can be defined using the strings "solid", "dotted", "dashed"
 or "dashdot". More refined control can be achieved by providing a dash tuple
 ``(offset, (on_off_seq))``. For example, ``(0, (3, 10, 1, 15))`` means
-(3pt line, 10pt space, 1pt line, 15pt space) with no offset. See also
-`.Line2D.set_linestyle`.
+(3pt line, 10pt space, 1pt line, 15pt space) with no offset, while
+``(5, (10, 5))``, means (10pt line, 5pt space), but skip the first 5pt line.
+See also `.Line2D.set_linestyle`.
 
 *Note*: The dash style can also be configured via `.Line2D.set_dashes`
 as shown in :doc:`/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/line_demo_dash_control`
