Hi Ara,
This is what I came up with. It seems the width of line varies
depending upon slope angle.
_By the way thanks for the code._
S1 = Param("Bline", 35 , 10 , 1 );
B1 = StochD(S1);
thickness = Param("Thickness",5,1,20,1);
function ThickLine(Value,percent,Color)
{
//find max and min

Has anyone worked this up for AB. Hard to imagine it hasn't been

should be able to do it with greater flexibility.
