           Summary: Request: Set Linewidth for Objects like Associations,
                    Actors ( per default, diagramm and/or single element )
           Product: umbrello
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: umbrello-devel.kde.org
        ReportedBy: Achim.Spangler mnet-online de


Version:           CVS (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

Currently (CVS) the linewidth isn't controlled by user changeable settings.
Thus sometimes the special width 0 ( 1-point width with quick but not exact drawing method ), the constant width 1 or no width definition ( -> QT-Default width 0 ) is used.
( example lines from LinePath::getPen(): 
  - return QPen( getLineColor(), 0, DashLine ); 
  - return QPen( getLineColor() );  <<- Qt-Default width of 0 is used
)

Especially if the output is scaled ( e.g. for print ), the lines can be hard to see on a printout. But a low print resolution migth also cause problems.

==> Suggestion:
Please add a config setting for line width to all places where line color can be controlled. The user should be able to define different default width for object shapes ( actor, use case, class, ... ) and association lines.

If possible, the user should be able to set different line width for screen and printer output.
