Hi,
with this code I draw some points:
```auto
size(400, 400);
noSmooth();
point(120, 80);
point(340, 80);
point(340, 300);
point(120, 300);
```
So they are drawn with the size of one pixel.
Is there a way to increase the dot size?
Thank you,
f

Take a look at this reference:
[point() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/point_.html) \< In the _Related_ (bottom) section there is a reference to stroke()
[stroke() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/stroke_.html) \< In the _Related_ section you will find your solution!

this seems to work:
```auto
size (333, 333);
strokeWeight(25);
point(55, 55);
strokeWeight(1);//reset
```
But the way to go is:
- with `circle()` or `ellipse()` command. You can use noStroke, stroke or fill before them
- cf. for circle: [circle() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/circle_.html)
- cf. for ellipse: [ellipse() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/ellipse_.html)

There are several ways to do this.
Very interesting, thanks.
