[Xy-pic] Using line styles extension with pdftex

Hi

I want to use line styles extension with pdflatex, but pdflatex seems  
not to be an appropriate backend for line styles extension. Is there  
any other possibility to change line styles when using pdflatex? I  
use xypic to draw arrows onto graphics, but if the graphics are  
large, the arrows are not thick enough. My graphics are all jpg, pdf  
or png, so I need to use pdflatex (it is also the standard in  
distributions for Mac OS X). Any suggestions?

Also I have encountered some problems with \color{white} command in  
the xy environment. Depending on where I put it it changes output  
significantly. I haven't recognized a pattern yet and I didn't find  
anything in the xypic reference that would explain such behaviour. If  
needed I can provide a minimal example.

Thanks for help/advice
Kind Regards
Armin
