Than why not use metapost?
See the following for some links:

(don't forget to check out Jean-Michel Sarlat's excellent site
 at http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/metapost/).

Alternatively, you can have a look at page 14 and further of

 http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/ZEBRA.pdf

for an example of what you can do with metapost (and probably
can't do with pict2e [but I didn't check:-]).
