        By the way, I have the script set up to increase the line thickness by 1 pixel each time the left mouse button is clicked. It appears the max thickness is somewhere between 30 and 35 pixels, which is pretty wide... too wide.

        Right now, the wider the lines get, the more the endpoints don't match up - but that could be compensated for.

        Also, you get your choice of line color (limited) and pattern (also limited). πŸ˜„

        Here's the same box with a hairy green outline.

            Same purple box with a solid line. Note the corners. Yuk.

              Well done Todd, I think a script to do this
              would be very usefull. In my case I could
              use it via a Screen Shot into Canvas. When
              in there I simply resize to scale, it works!

              Some 'hairy purple / green' drawings might
              have there uses πŸ˜‰

                Wow, Todd. That is soooo cool. Is there a way that thickness can be "styled"?

                  Justin, give me an example of what you mean by "styled." I suspect not, other than a few patterns and several colors (actually, I might be able to get any SU named color).

                  I think I can randomize the pattern, color and thickness all in the same view, which might end up pretty crazy looking.

                  If you think of the protractor tool and the rotate tool - I can do the same things with pretty much any pattern. A thought cloud could be drawn, or a light bulb with the circular array of light-rays.

                    Speaking of other uses - the green hairy style just gives me the idea of creating grass with it.
                    Would it work witth hidden lines, too?

                        Cool - just I give a fairly dense grid of lines and there is the "virtual" grass.

                          Here's some virtual "grass" on top of the grass texture. 😐
