[comp.unix.questions] Changing line weight in pic...

tcianflo@nugipsy.UUCP (Tom Cianflone) (03/12/88)

Does pic have a global option like tbl's linesize which
changes the default size of the lines it draws?
Our printing process needs a heavier line size than the pic default.
In tbl, we have to specify linesize(14).  We need to do the same
thing with pic, but can't find anything in the documentation about
it.  What some are doing now is to code a duplicate primitive
(line, box, or whatever) offset by a few thousandths of an inch
to make the item appear to have been drawn with a thicker line.
This is a bit tedius and labor intensive to say the least.
Any help on this?  Thanks as always...
