Hi,

I was just playing around with the [Logo-like extension](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-screen-turtle).

Great tool, but I thought it would also be possible to change the line width/thickness, but that was sadly missing. On further investigation, I discovered that the underlying basic [drawLine function](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-screen-turtle/blob/cf914caea8327c99ac2437c6a38162b37a117096/turtle.ts#L77) does not have this option either(nor did any other of the drawing functions, from what I could see).

Is there any way inside MakeCode Arcade, to override the drawLine function somehow, or otherwise, to include also line width/thickness in general or so that it would work with the turtle extension?

Alternatively, does anyone know if there already exists an extension for this?

Or, would the @makecode team consider or have a view on adding line width/thickness \> 1 pixel as a general argument to pass to the various drawing functions as a future feature?

Br,  
Vegard

Anybody who knows how one could go about drawing lines with thickness greater than 1 pixel?

That’s not implemented, you’d have to write your own method for that
