PLWIDTH(3plplot)

💅 PLWIDTH — like, the PLplot API one 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the PLplot API manual, and buckle up because today we're setting pen widths ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

plwidth — sets the pen width, that's it, that's the vibe 🖊️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plwidth(width)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically, plwidth sets the pen width. That's the whole assignment. Iconic, lowkey minimal, we love a function that knows exactly what it is 🫶

Redacted form: plwidth(width) — yes, same thing, it's just the vibes-only version of the call 🤡

This function shows up in examples 1 and 2, so if you've been running those, congrats, you've already met her 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• width (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the desired pen width, your moment to shine 💫 But listen: if width is negative, or it's the same as the previous value, no action is taken — she simply does not respond, main character energy fr. And width = 0. should be interpreted as the minimum valid pen width for the device. The interpretation of positive width values is also device dependent, so like... it's giving "ask your device, not me" 😭

ngl bestie, that last part is the important bit: 0 means "smallest this device can do" and positive numbers are whatever the device decides they mean. Don't @ me, I don't make the rules 💀
