What is the easiest way to draw fat lines? From the
documentation, it seems like it could be done using XLine(),
with the brush height and width set accordingly, i.e. for a line
5 pixels wide, the height and width would be 5. This does not
work though (I have tried this on both a Sun and an Apollo).
I am apparently missing something very obvious. What is it? Thanks
in advance.

I presume you are talking about X V10. Many version 10 implementations were quite incomplete; wide lines were often not implemented. This was particularly true of the Sun implementation, but I don't remember in the case of the Apollo implementation. See the manual pages for the implementations for restrictions. V11 comes with a complete set of graphics code, and wide lines should work properly on any of the existing implementations. Jim Gettys
