Problem: How to convince the LaserWriter to draw finer width lines between points. I am able to print the LW from within a LightspeedC application program, and Quickdraw does its thing just fine, except a pensize of (1,1) (which I understand to be the smallest Quickdraw understands) gives a line on the LW which is much thicker than 1 (300 dpi) pixel. Interestingly I can capture the Postscript output of the program, go in and change the line "1 1 pn" to ".1 .1 pn" and the output will have thinner lines. How can I control this parameter from within the program.? Wade Blomgren UCSD Academic Computing Services ...sdcsvax!sdacs!wade
