Rev cannot natively display a "true" line object less than 1 pixel in
thickness since it does not currently support sub-pixel positioning, but
even then, all you might wind up with is a blurred line that occupies more
than 1 pixel in thickness.  Are you perhaps trying to create a scalable
display or something else?

The only way I can think of to accomplish something like this is to use an
image that has space around the line that will antialias when scaled.  Not
sure if this helps.
