<H2><B>set lwid</B></H2>
<P>This command, which is available in <span class="red">GrADS version 2.1+</span>, allows the user to define a new line thickness setting with a specified width.
<H3>Syntax </H3>
<p><code>set lwid <i>thickness width</i></code>
<p>The <code><i>thickness</i></code> argument must be an integer in the range of<code> 13 to 256. </code> Line thickness settings between 1 and 12 are pre-defined and cannot be changed. The <code><i>width</i></code> argument must be a real number > 0, but line widths greater than 3.0 are not recommended.</H3>
<H3>Usage Notes</H3>
<P>The default line widths for <code><i>thickness</i></code> settings between 1 and 12 are:<code> 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.0. </code> The default line width for <code><i>thickness</i></code> settings greater than 12 is 1.0.
The units (pixels or points) will depend on the surface being drawn to.
<P>Once a new thickness setting has been defined, it can be used with any command that controls thickness:<code> <a href="gradcomdsetannot.html">set annot</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetclopts.html">set clopts</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetcthick.html">set cthick</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetgrid.html">set grid</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetline.html">set line</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetmap.html">set map</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetmpt.html">set mpt</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetstring.html">set string</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetxlopts.html">set xlopts</a>, <a href="gradcomdsetylopts.html">set ylopts</a>.</code> The thickness contols when applied to strings (contour labels, axis labels, etc.) will only take effect when Hershey fonts are in use.
