This includes line thickness, line cap and line join. This was added to ps using \X'set' commands. A new drawing primitive, mirroring groff's, was introduced: \D't'. It allows directly setting line width using units. \D't 1i' has expected results (a line width of an inch), whereas .nr a 1i .dv set linewidth \na does not, because the argument of linewidth is in thousandths of ems. It's also arguably more cumbersome.
