Can I texture a line?
Author
In reality, line segments are infinitly thin. However, in OpenGL, lines can have thickness, but a solid color line is boring. Can I texture map lines with 1D/2D textures?
Not sure about texturing, but you can stipple. You can also draw lines as quads and manually texture them, of course.

I was considering the quad idea.

Yes, texturing works fine for lines and points.
So, would 2D textures work? I imagine 1D textures work fine, perhaps something like this:
glBegin (GL_LINES) glTexCoord1f(0.0f); glVertex3fv (firstVertexCoords); glTexCoord1f (1.0f); glVertex3fv (secondVertexCoords); /* ect */glEnd ();
1D texturing works for best with the lines and points.

Yeah, 2D textures work fine. Some old cards don''t support it (I just remember that I used to own a card which wouldn''t texture a line or fog a line either. I think it was a voodoo, though, so you''re probably safe these days 
)
) If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot!
