outlineattrs sgplot

I used outlineattrs to specify the color and thickness of the line. But if I specify for example a value for the thickness between 0 and 1.5 There seems to be no changes. The thickness remains the same. Is there anything am doing wrong. Am tring to get very thin otlines.

Is there any way to make the borderlines also very thin?

proc sgplot data = population2017 noautolengend ;
format Male Female positive.;
hbarparm category= agegroup  response=Male/ barwidth=1 fillattrs=(color=blue baselineattrs=(thickness=0)
outlineattrs=(color=black thickness= 0) missing;
hbarparm category= agegroup response=Female/  barwidth=1 fillattrs=(color=red) baselineattrs=(thickness=0)
outlineattrs=(color=black thickness=0) missing;
xaxis values=(-200000 to 200000 by 100000) display=(nolabel) grid  ;
yaxis display=(nolabel) offsetmin=0 offsetmax=0; 
run;

The default unit of measurement is pixels, which is integer-valued. You can have a 1-pixel boundary or a zero-pixel boundary (which means "no boundary"). There is no such thing as a "half a pixel".

Because the THICKNESS= option expects an integer, it rounds the value to the nearest integer. However, it also appears to round up any positive value to 1. Thus the following are all equivalent and give a 1-pixel wide boundary

thickness=0.1px

thickness=1.1px

thickness=1.49px

You can get rid of the boundary by using thickness=0,

Okay thanks, that means there is no way to make the boundaries thinner
