GLLINEWIDTH()							 GLLINEWIDTH()

NAME
       glLineWidth - specify the width of rasterized lines

C SPECIFICATION
       void glLineWidth( GLfloat width )

       delim $$

PARAMETERS
       width  Specifies	 the  width of rasterized lines.  The initial value is
	      1.

DESCRIPTION
       glLineWidth specifies the rasterized width  of  both  aliased  and  an-
       tialiased  lines.   Using  a  line width	other than 1 has different ef-
       fects, depending	on whether line	antialiasing is	 enabled.   To	enable
       and  disable  line antialiasing,	call glEnable and glDisable with argu-
       ment GL_LINE_SMOOTH. Line antialiasing is initially disabled.

       If line antialiasing is disabled, the actual  width  is	determined  by
       rounding	 the  supplied width to	the nearest integer.  (If the rounding
       results in the value 0, it is as	if the line width were 1.)  If
       | DELTA x | >= |	DELTA y	|,
       i pixels	are filled in each column that is rasterized, where i  is  the
       rounded	value  of  width.   Otherwise, i pixels	are filled in each row
       that is rasterized.

       If antialiasing is enabled, line	rasterization produces a fragment  for
       each pixel square that intersects the region lying within the rectangle
       having  width  equal to the current line	width, length equal to the ac-
       tual length of the line,	and centered on	the mathematical line segment.
       The coverage value for each fragment is the window coordinate  area  of
       the intersection	of the rectangular region with the corresponding pixel
       square.	This value is saved and	used in	the final rasterization	step.

       Not  all	widths can be supported	when line antialiasing is enabled.  If
       an unsupported width is requested, the nearest supported	width is used.
       Only width 1 is guaranteed to be	supported; others depend on the	imple-
       mentation.  To query the	range of supported widths and the size differ-
       ence between supported widths within the	range, call glGet  with	 argu-
       ments GL_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE and GL_LINE_WIDTH_GRANULARITY.

NOTES
       The  line  width	 specified  by	glLineWidth  is	 always	 returned when
       GL_LINE_WIDTH is	queried.  Clamping and rounding	for  aliased  and  an-
       tialiased lines have no effect on the specified value.

       Nonantialiased line width may be	clamped	to an implementation-dependent
       maximum.	  Although  this maximum cannot	be queried, it must be no less
       than the	maximum	value for antialiased lines, rounded  to  the  nearest
       integer value.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_VALUE	is generated if	width is less than or equal to 0.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION  is	 generated  if glLineWidth is executed between
       the execution of	glBegin	and the	corresponding execution	of glEnd.
