Any way to make a DrawingCanvas Drawline Larger?

[Thecovester]

I have recently started using Google's new AppInventor, but I haven't completed the tutorials. On the 3rd tutorial (PaintPlot) in the 2nd half of it, the tutorial talks about making the DrawingCanvas.DrawCircle radius larger, but it says "Notice that dragging your finger still produces a thin line. That's because the changes we just made don't affect how DrawLine is called." Well, how do you change the way that the Drawline is called? This tutorial is cool because it can be modified and changed to be a simple picture editor, but I can't even figure out how to make the DrawLines thicker.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Help me please...

EDIT: And by the way, I posted this same question here: https://groups.google.com/group/appinventor/browse_thread/thread/f29287402fad87c and someone told me that there was no way to do this. Is he correct?

That is correct, there is no way to do this at this time.

To change the line size (make it bigger), drag the *DrawingCanvas.lineWidth* block
Then put it right under/inside the *ButtonBig.Click* block
Then drag a number block like 8 and plug it inside the *DrawingCanvas.lineWidth* block.
hope this helps, Pls let me know if it helped
