draw thick line without using Graphics2D

[SPG]

Hi,

We have an applet that MUST support jvm 1.1 (MS JVM also).
I want to plot some lines, and the selected line needs to be two points
thick.

Simple to do with Graphics2D (setStroke(new BasicStroke(2)), but this is not
supported with the older JVMs.

Is there another way to do this?

If the line is horizontal or vertical, fill a rectangle. If the line must
be arbitrary, draw 4 parallel lines by offsetting the endpoints by (0,0),
(0,1), (1,0), (1,1). (You can do this with 2 lines, but you have to change
the offsets for different angles and it may still leave gaps.)

Hi,

Thanks.. Unfortunately the lines are not horizontal, but I cna apply that
method anyhow as I know the endpoints so I can just add one and redraw..

Will have a go anyway..
