A good effort with an understandable mistake.  You cannot use (dot )
directly, the interface functions in output-*.scm are output commands
for `Stencil's with that name.

So, you'll have to make a 'dot' stencil.  How to do that?  Use
ly:make-stencil.  See, eg, scm/stencil.scm: 

   (define-public (make-filled-box-stencil xext yext)
     "Make a filled box."

     ..)

Good luck,

Jan.
