A real cube doesn't even have black lines on its edges, these ones are only to give the shape, well, its shape. So in light of answering the question of how to draw a 3D cube, I'd argue they are wrong. | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 17:10 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | @rubenvb Technically, the thickening is correct since each line appears on its face so where you see two faces then you see two lines. | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 15:04 | comment | added | rubenvb | @Loop your method thickens some of the edge lines, whereas the small option I suggest doesn't... | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 14:58 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | @rubenvb See my CW answer below for a link to a question about how to fix that issue. | |

Note that this needs something like line join=round to make sure the corners of the faces don't protrude outside the shape.

I shall :). Perhaps they'll introduce a gold version of the Archaeologist badge some time ...

Good response :). Well, I guess concerning people like you I could just edit it, but then again I think "He knows a lot more about that stuff than I do, perhaps there's a reason he used minimal". When coming across newer users using it, I usually point them to the question you mentioned.

Avoided using minimal class

| Mar 21, 2012 at 10:22 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | @doncherry Because the question tex.stackexchange.com/q/42114/86 hadn't been asked when I wrote that! I was young, I was naive, I didn't know what I was doing. Now I'm old and grumpy and can say, "You want it changed? You know where the 'edit' button is!". (Seriously, you should feel free to make changes like that.) | |

Any particular reason you're using minimal? If not, I'd suggest replacing it by a standard document class, as we generally want to discourage usage of minimal‽
