line width
How thick strokes
Line width is the thickness of a drawn or printed line.
In graphics software, line width determines how heavy strokes appear: Increase the line width for better visibility.
In typography and publishing, it can refer to the length of a line of text—how many characters fit before wrapping.
Scientific contexts use line width for the breadth of spectral lines or waveforms.
