[starlogo-users] Finer Grained Lines

[Eric Klopfer]

It is possible to change the resolution of the lines in Starlogo, but  
it is not possible to do that independently of the size of the  
turtle.  Even though only 1 pixel was showing in your example, the  
turtle was still 4x4 pixels.  You can reduce the granularity of the  
entire canvas to 1 pixel x 1 pixel, by going to the patch slider  
canvas and changing the patch size to 1.  That will create 1 pixel  
turtles and they will draw with 1 pixel pens.
