r51217 introduced LineWidth parameter (which should probably be renamed to
LeafWidth) that allows to specify a different than default 1/5th diameter.

That also brings the memory of my childhood. Unfortunately I was about 2-3
years old that the event the occurred, so I could not be a witness myself,
but...
But a couple of older kids (4-6 years) were left at home for a short period
of time (less than an hour or so). However, after a few minutes of playing,
they got really scared that the nazis might come in. Being terrified of
being captured they took all black markers, pens and pencils they could
find at home and started drawing swastikas all over the house. (I cannot
confirm if they were the right 1/5th proportion). But in a few minutes all
walls in were covered in swastikas.

Despite their hopes and worries, instead of Nazis, parents appeared! They
were really mad about what has happened and caused kids to do some labor
and cleaning up the mess.

thanks,
Dmitry
