Hi Pilou, that's true, the image on the screen will only change with the second parameter.

But that script isn't about changing stuff on the screen, it is about changing stuff on the image that is sent to the clipboard. You don't see that image on the screen until you paste it into an image processing program.

The idea of the script is to work like this:


Set line width to a larger number.

Call renderToClipboard() - this will do a special rendering that you don't see on the screen, but the rendering will use all the parameters that are normally set to change the appearance including the larger line width. This rendering is never displayed directly, it goes directly to a bitmap instead.

Then the second call to setting the line width restores it to its original default so that there won't be any change to the regular screen display.


So it is intended that when you run the script, you should not see any change immediately on the screen at all, that's why you want to leave the second parameter to set lineWidth back to 1.

When you change the first line width, you will be changing the appearance of the image that is on the clipboard, paste it in somewhere each time to see the different result.

I hope this clears it up!
