Reply #1 - Jul 29th, 2007, 2:06am   see the first two comments for the bug report http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123 for an explanation of 1) why strokeWeight doesn't exist in 3D, and 2) a workaround.

Re: making the the stroke of an object bigger. Reply #2 - Jul 29th, 2007, 4:05am   It is also possible to fake a shape's stroke by drawing another similar object with at the same position/angle, with a different size and color. e.g, these very simple workarounds. Quote: int Stroke = 100; int Rectsize = 40; void setup(){  size(500,500,P3D);  frameRate(30); noStroke(); } void draw(){  background(0);  fill(100);  rect(mouseX-Stroke/2,mouseY-Stroke/2,Rectsize+Stroke,Rectsize+Stroke);  fill(255);  rect(mouseX,mouseY,Rectsize,Rectsize); } Quote: int Stroke = 100; int Ellipsesize = 20; void setup(){  size(500,500,P3D);  frameRate(30); noStroke(); } void draw(){  background(0);  ellipseMode(CORNER);  fill(100);  ellipse(mouseX-Stroke/2,mouseY-Stroke/2,Ellipsesize+Stroke,Ellipsesize+Stroke);  fill(255);  ellipse(mouseX,mouseY,Ellipsesize,Ellipsesize); }
