Hi, The following draws two thick blue lines, one of length 1 and the other of length "len" using an image size of "size": sl[len_,size_] := Show[ Graphics[ {RGBColor[0,0,1],Thickness[0.01],Line[{{0,0},{len,0}}], Line[{{0,1},{1,1}}]}],ImageSize->size,AspectRatio->1/10] On my machine: sl[1/1000,450] Shows a long thick line and a very short thick line underneath it. sl[1/1000,500] Only the long line is visible, even tough the image is larger! sl[1/1000,600] The short line reappears. The problem disappears when "Thickness[0.01]" is removed. Do others have the same problem? I would expect larger images to show more, and not less, details. Also, it seems to me that thick lines should be visible whenever thin lines are. Uri
