Description Matthew Truch 2004-07-22 18:33:59 UTC
Version:           0.99devel (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:                Linux

when a plot is physically printed (to paper), the lines of a curve are very hard to see, as the line width is way to narrow.  

how to reproduce: print a plot (or group of plots) to a printer.

expected behavior: line width is adjusted so that the curves can be easily seen on the printed paper (printers usually have much smaller pixels than screens).

The same issue applies to full screen plots on high-res displays.

Perhaps we should have a default line width which is interpreted by ->draw as 
0.2% of the plot size (?).
