Thick

Thick

is a graphics directive that specifies that lines which follow should be drawn thick.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

Compare thin and thick lines:

Wolfram Language code: {Graphics[{Thin, Line[{{0, 0}, {2, 1}}]}], Graphics[{Thick, Line[{{0, 0}, {2, 1}}]}]}
Wolfram Language code: {Graphics3D[{Thin, Line[{{0, 0, 0}, {2, 1, 1}}]}], Graphics3D[{Thick, Line[{{0, 0, 0}, {2, 1, 1}}]}]}

Thin and thick frames:

Wolfram Language code: {Grid[Table[x, {4}, {4}], Frame -> All, FrameStyle -> Thin], Grid[Table[x, {4}, {4}], Frame -> All, FrameStyle -> Thick]}

Scope  (2)

Use EdgeForm to draw thin and thick edges:

Wolfram Language code: {Graphics[{Pink, EdgeForm[Thin], Rectangle[]}], Graphics[{Pink, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[]}]}
Wolfram Language code: {Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Thin], Cuboid[]}, Boxed -> False], Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Thick], Cuboid[]}, Boxed -> False]}

Plots with thin and thick lines:

Wolfram Language code: {Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, PlotStyle -> Thin], Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, PlotStyle -> Thick]}

Properties & Relations  (4)

Thick is equivalent to Thickness[Large]:

Wolfram Language code: Thick

Specify the thickness of lines as a fraction of the total width of the graphic, using Thickness:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Graphics[{Thickness[r], Line[{{1, 0}, {2, 1}, {3, 0}, {4, 1}}]}], {r, {0.01, 0.02, 0.05}}]

Specify the thickness of lines in printer's points using AbsoluteThickness:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Graphics[{AbsoluteThickness[d], Line[{{1, 0}, {2, 1}, {3, 0}, {4, 1}}]}], {d, {0.5, 2, 5}}]

Thick is absolute thickness, independent of the image size:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Graphics[{Thick, Line[{{0, 0}, {2, 1}}]}, ImageSize -> s], {s, {50, 100, 150}}]
