very thin lines

[frits]

When I view the startup logo I see the grid that is made up of very thin lines.

The thinnest line I can get (0,01pt) is half as thick as the one in the grid (even with the anti aliasing off)

Has dis anything to do with my display (800x600)

Hello Frits

You can blame it on the finite site of the pixels. You can create as thin a line as you want, but Xara can only appoximate a line thinnner than one pixel on the screen. To create the impression of a line being thinner, Xara lightens the color of the line and/or anti-aliases the line.

Printing a thin line is a different story. In this case the ability to print a very thin line is dependent upon the resolution of the printer.
