PENCIL /WEIGHT
PENCIL [N] /WEIGHT Arg
Modify the current pen weight, or the weight of the N-th pen.
The argument can be the pen weight (controling the line width) in mil-
limiter using the following syntax:
PEN /WEIGHT 1.23mm
For reference, the weight has to be compared with the current PLOT_PAGE
(default 30cm x 21cm).
The argument can also be an integer index from 1 to 5. They translate as
follows:
PEN /WEIGHT 1 => 0.15mm
PEN /WEIGHT 2 => 0.30mm
PEN /WEIGHT 3 => 0.45mm
PEN /WEIGHT 4 => 0.75mm
PEN /WEIGHT 5 => 1.20mm
For bitmaps devices (X, PNG), weights lower or equal than 0.15 mm always
translate as 1 pixel width lines. On the other hand, for vectorial de-
vices (PS, EPS, SVG), all widths are preserved and those lower than 0.15
mm give different rendering depending on the viewing/printing applica-
tion.
