[ROOT] line widths

Hi,

I have a pad that I'm dividing into 16 for 16 different plots.
When I do this, I find that the line widths (both the borders and the 
histogram lines are quite thick (even with linewidth set to 1). I have 
noticed this before but usually get round it by creating quite a large 
pad, so that when I insert the plot into a document I shrink it and get 
the line width that I want. However, since I've got 16 plots I can't 
shrink it very much since you can't then see the detail. I've noticed too 
that once you get to a particular pad size the postscript never gets any 
bigger, so I can't solve the problem by creating an absolutely enormous 
canvas. The option I thought of was to set the line width smaller than 1, 
but it doesn't recognise fractions of a line width; at least I've tried 
(for example) 0.5 and 0.8 and in both cases you just get an extremely thin 
line.  I have seen similar plots in paw to the one I'm trying to do, and 
the line widths are alot thinner than I seem to be able to create in root. 
Is there another way to choose the line widths?

Thanks very much,

Claire
