Scaling Lines

Hi,

I've written a java program which paints a number

of lines, and the scene can be scaled or rotated.

When the scene is scaled up, the lines increase

in size not only in length but in width. What

is the best way of ensuring the lines stay the

same width regardless of scale? Are there any

transformation geometry routines that could do

this?At the moment, my paint routine does it

this way:

protectedvoid paintComponent(Graphics g){

super.paintComponent(g);

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

BasicStroke solid =new BasicStroke((float)(3.0 * (1/myScale)));

g2.scale(myScale, myScale);

....

.... (paint lines here)

Also, my program paints a few dashed lines.

But I'm finding that as I increase or decrease the

scale, the blank space between each dash varies to

the point where the dashes space out too much, or

the lines look completely solid.Do I solve this

problem in a similar way as above?

Thanks.
