Re: [reportlab-users] Reduce thickness of the rectangle

[Ramas Sami]

Hi all,

Is it possible to reduce the thickness of rectangle border?

rect(x, y, width, height, stroke=1, fill=0)

draws a rectangle with lower left corner at (x,y) and width and height as given.

Please help me to fix it, if there are any other ways to achieve it.

Thanks

Best Regards

.........
you need to set the linewidth on your canvas.

canv.saveState()
canv.setLineWidth(0.1)
canv.setStrokeColor((1,0,0))
canv.rect(x, y, width, height, stroke=1, fill=0)
canv.restoreState()


so the canvas only has one lineWidth / strokeColor which is why we have to save
and restore the state etc etc
