Painting/ Drawing thick lines on canvas

[Uma Bhat]

In Drawing Canvas, if line-width is set to get a thick line, the canvas.Drawline blocks result in bizzare zig-zag lines, especially when drawing slowly or with lots of curves. Is there a way to get smoother thick lines?

 

Here's a link where it seems you can do it by using DrawCircle blocks:Doodle (.aia file attached). It works fine when both x, y co-ordinates are either increasing or decreasing ( dragging left-up to right- down and back) and when dragging parellel and perpendicular to the screen. But it misbehaves when canvas is dragged on from  in  right-up to left- down and back The original poster hasn't posted a solution. I tried to solve it , but cannot figure out. It would be helpful to everyone, if anyone here posts a solution.

Put the normal DrawLine block prevX,prevY to currentX,currentY

right after that put a DrawCircle block, currentX, currentY Radius = Canvas.LineWidth / 2 and "true" for filled.

That's it.

This is how you achieve a continuous line, with a rounded start and end points.

Thank you very much!

Now the lines look amazing. That was easy, too... 

Wow...

When drawing on the Canvas it is a good idea to set Screen Sizing to Responsive.

This will reduce the Canvas pixellation seen on larger screens as well.
