I have a question concerning drawing different thick lines in my sketch. If I want to draw two lines and each of them should use a different stroke weight - how would I do this in Processing?

My code:

````auto
import processing.serial.*;
Serial myPort;

int value;
int padding = 100;
float m;

void setup() {
  size(1440, 900);
  myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[4], 9600);
  smooth();
  strokeWeight(3);
  stroke(100);
}

void draw() {
  background(#FFFFF0);
  if (myPort.available() > 0) {
    value = myPort.read();
    println(value); 
    m = map(value, 255, 0, padding, width-padding);
  } 
  line(padding, height/2, width-padding, height/2);
  noStroke();
  fill(#FFDE14);
  stroke (0,255,0);
  strokeWeight(5);
  line (m, height/2, m, 100); 
  stroke(100);
}```

Many thanks for your help.

Use this directly before the line command
