    If you're using the "hilight set" capabilities, then you could use geSetHilightSetHaloParameters() to use halo style highlights, and then you can specify the width etc. Otherwise you could alter the packet definition for the layer purpose used for the highlighting to make it draw with more than one pixel.

    Hi Bala,

    the only way I know of to 'thicken' up a marker line is to set halo parameters for it using geSetHilightSetHaloParameters() (the function sets halo parameters of the highlight set you've previously created) - there is a haloThickness parameter.  Try playing with this, I think it may be close to what you want?

    Regards,
    Lawrence.
