Thickness of the line segment
In this example we check how units used in MuPAD are transformed to JavaView.
MuPAD
Image obtained in MuPAD. In this image we use line segments with different thickness. The width of a segment is equal (i/5)mm. Therefore, the thickness of the lowest segment is 0.2mm, and the thickness of the upper segment is 4mm.
JavaView
The same model in JavaView. It looks almost identical with this what we see on the MuPAD image.
Comment: in JavaView thickness of a segment (polygon) is measured in pixels. Therefore, a line segment of a given thickness will look exactly the same on the image 10x10 pixels as well as 800x800pixels.
