Line width vvvthin and vvthin

[David Laport]

I am aware that it is a detail, but when I plot graphs, there seems to be no difference between the line width of vvvthin and vvthin. I do not know whether I do something wrong in the coding, or whether it is something you can only see, when you have a screen with a higher resolution. In the attachment is the code for vvvthin-thin, the different line widths.

As one addition. I use StataSE 15(64-bit).

I have saved the file as an enhance metafile and opened it in paint. And even when I zoom in it shows no difference.

The output of help linewidthstyle tells us the basic selection is

Syntax

    linewidthstyle        Description
    -----------------------------------------------------
    none                  line has zero width; it
                            vanishes
    vvthin                thinnest
    vthin                 
    thin                  
    medthin               
    medium                
    medthick              
    thick                 
    vthick                
    vvthick               
    vvvthick              thickest
    size                  any size you want
    -----------------------------------------------------

    Other linewidthstyles may be available; type

             . graph query linewidthstyle

which does not include vvvthin; the output of graph query linewidthstyle shows, on my system,

. graph query linewidthstyle

linewidthstyle may be

    medium    medthin   thick     vthick    vvthick   vvvthick
    medthick  none      thin      vthin     vvthin    vvvthin

The output of help size tells you how to specify line widths arbitrarily.

My belief is that depending on the graphics scheme, vvvthin may or may not be defined as something other than the equivalent of vvthin. But that's getting a lot deeper into graphics than I care to go.
