I cant find a way to set width to line. I think this would also be very usefull feature in a constructor, but my guess is lines just dont work like that.

scaling doesnt work, it just changes location of, neither does width and height.

Try it yourself 🙂

Unfortunately this is a OpenGL problem, the spec doesn’t require allowing to change the width of a line ☹ [javascript - How to use gl.lineWidth() - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47444239/how-to-use-gl-linewidth) To achieve the effect of “thicker” lines people usually create cylinder meshes.
