The default rendering engine ("opengl") for raster formats like png has the same limitations as your opengl implementation, which limits the with of GL_LINE primitives (hence the same result onscreen).

To circumvent this issue you can switch to the vector based renderer "painters" (the former default, in versions prior to 5.2 or so), e.g.:


...
print ('p_test.png', '-painters', '-dpng', '-r300');

This test function produces a plot with lines with various widths, and then figure is printed to PNG and SVG files:

function p_test

        close all

        plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 0.5, ...
                 [1, 2], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 1, ...
                 [2, 3], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 2, ...
                 [3, 4], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 5, ...
                 [4, 5], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 10, ...
                 [5, 6], [0, 1], 'linewidth', 20);

        print ('p_test.png', ...
                   '-dpng', ...
                   '-r300');

        print ('p_test.svg', ...
                   '-dsvg', ...
                   '-r300');

endfunction

The line widths in the SVG image is correct (also see rendering in the Screenshot image), but in the PNG image the line widths is limited to a certain value.

Line widths in a figure window also seems limited (see the screenshot of a figure window).

If I remember correctly, in earlier versions lines were rendered in a raster image with not width restrictions.

The Graphic toolkit is set to Qt.
