I am creating an application with a zoom feature. I thought to use Luxor.scale, which correctly scales my primitives (boxes, triangles etc.) but preserves the linewidth’s value. Is there any way to include the scaling of the linewidth too? When the scale factor is very small, the linewidth is unbearably large
