Draw.ThickLine  help file is a little confusing

-----------------------------------

Does View.set or setscreen have to be set to "graphics" because i have it now at "offscreenonly,nobuttonbar" and it works

setscreen ("graphics:512,256")


makes the window 512x256,  but I think View.Update just goes in on it's own.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're asking - Sorry if I couldn't help.

No, I'm pretty sure the newer version of Turing sets the mode to "graphics" if you call a draw function... what was the code you had before?

Ohhh.  

I  don't think so - Draw.ThickLine is just like Draw.Box or Draw.Line...

Try that.

Turing might have originally required you to set the mode as graphics, however in all the copies I've seen, it's already in graphics mode as default.

So to answer your question. No.

The alternate mode is:

View.Set("text")

Will give you the scrollbar with selectable text.

The default graphics mode is defined in the Turing preferences. It is good practice to set the desired mode so that the program will function properly regardless of thedefault graphics mode.
