I'm looking for references/ideas for implementing a variable-width
version of Bresenham's algorithm for quantising line segments.

In other words, I'm not content with single-pixel lines that result
from the standard algorithm.  I'd like to be able to draw 2, 3, and
perhaps even fractional line widths.  This seems like a common problem
and I assume someone has a more elegant solution than just drawing
multiple closely spaced lines.
