[solved] Maximal penwidth for line with psycho backend

Ingmar

Hi all,

I'm using the psycho backend and want to draw a very thick line using the canvas.line function. I know I can just use the psychopy function to draw the line but I was just wondering if anybody knows why the canvas.line has a maximum thickness? It can't be very thick at all.

Thanks,
Ingmar

Hi Ingmar,

Thanks for pointing this out. This is an issue with PsychoPy, which ignores high line-width values. I filed an issue for it (#818). In the meanwhile, you can either switch to another back-end, if possible. Or you can use some kind of creative workaround, such as drawing multiple lines, using a rectangle, etc.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply.
Indeed I used one of those workarounds.

cheers,
