html5 canvas width,HTML5 Canvas and Line Width

I just solved a problem of a similar nature. It involved a bug in a For loop.

PROBLEM: I had created a for loop to create a series of connected line segments and noticed that the line was thick to start but thinned out significantly by the final segment (no gradients were explicitly used).

FIRST, DEAD END THOUGHT: At first I assumed it was the above pixel issue, but the problem persisted even after forcing all the segments to remain at a constant level.

OBSERVATION: I noticed that I made a newbie's mistake -- I only used a single "ctx.beginPath()" and "ctx.moveTo(posX,posY)" PRIOR to the For loop and a single "ctx.stroke()" AFTER the For loop and the loop itself wrapped a single ctx.lineTo().

SOLUTION: Once I moved all methods (.beginPath(), .moveTo(), .lineTo() and .stroke()) together into the For loop so they would all be hit on each iteration, the problem went away. My connected line had the desired uniform thickness.
