\description{
In the specified CytoscapeWindow, set the lineStyle of the specified edge
or edges, bypassing all rule mapping.  The getLineStyles method shows
the possible values. 
}
\usage{
setEdgeLineStyleDirect(obj, edge.names, new.values)
}
\arguments{
  \item{obj}{a \code{CytoscapeWindowClass} object. }
  \item{edge.names}{one or more \code{String} objects, cy2-style edge names.}
  \item{new.values}{one or more \code{String} object, from the supported set.}
}

\value{
None.
