example picture for stroke_weight()

def setup():
    py5.stroke_weight(1)  # default
    py5.line(20, 20, 80, 20)
    py5.stroke_weight(4)  # thicker
    py5.line(20, 40, 80, 40)
    py5.stroke_weight(10)  # beastly
    py5.line(20, 70, 80, 70)

Description#

Sets the width of the stroke used for lines, points, and the border around shapes. All widths are set in units of pixels.

Using point() with strokeWeight(1) or smaller may draw nothing to the screen, depending on the graphics settings of the computer. Workarounds include setting the pixel using the pixels[] or np_pixels[] arrays or drawing the point using either circle() or square().

Underlying Processing method: strokeWeight

    weight: float,  # the weight (in pixels) of the stroke
