mlwidth(vthick)
We can control the width of the line
that surrounds the marker using the
mlwidth()
option. Here, we make the
width very thick by specifying the
mlwidth(vthick)
(marker line width)
option. We can also indicate the
thickness as a multiple of the original
thickness; e.g.,
mlwidth(*3)
indicates
the line should be three times as thick
as it would normally be. See
Styles : Linewidth
(337) for more details.
