This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-context-2d-linewidth Comment: It would be beneficial to have a property within linewidth such as 'hairline'so that drawings could be scaled and linewidth would be independant. For ex. a line always having a width of 1 no matter the scale. This is almost necessary when displaying engineering drawings that need to be zoomed in upon. Posted from: 74.143.20.114

If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I agree with the idea, but I think we should punt on this for now and deal with it in a later version. There's a near-infinite number of things we could add to the 2D API and every time we do so, browser vendors appear to abandon everything else and rush to implement it. So it seems best to wait til they've implemented a lot more of the rest of HTML5 before adding more things here.
This bug was cloned to create HTML WG bug 19031.
Any browser vendors interested in implementing this?
Closing as WONTFIX for lack of vendor and author interest.
