Specifying Line Width

See Also

The DrawWidth property specifies the width of the line for output from the graphics methods. The BorderWidth property specifies the outline thickness of line and shape controls.

The following procedure draws lines of several different widths.

Private Sub Form_Click ()
   DrawWidth = 1
   Line (100, 1000)–(3000, 1000)
   DrawWidth = 5
   Line (100, 1500)–(3000, 1500)
   DrawWidth = 8
   Line (100, 2000)–(3000, 2000)
End Sub

The results are shown in Figure 12.18.
