Shaperenderer circle line width

Question

Is there any way to increase the width of the line that makes up the shaperenderers circle?

shape.begin(ShapeRenderer.ShapeType.Line);
shape.setProjectionMatrix(batch.getProjectionMatrix());
shape.setColor(1, 0.53f, 0.53f, 1);

shape.circle(nest.getCenter().x, nest.getCenter().y, radius, 500);

If not, is there any other approach that can give a similar effect?

I don't know much about libGDX, however, you could draw multiple circles at varying radius (same position), and thicken the line in a non-efficient manner. — jgallant, Nov 04 '15 at 17:49

Set the OpenGL line width.

Gdx.gl.glLineWidth(32); // Or whatever thickness you need

// Then render the lines or circles as per what you're currently doing 
shape.begin(ShapeRenderer.ShapeType.Line);
shape.setProjectionMatrix(batch.getProjectionMatrix());
shape.setColor(1, 0.53f, 0.53f, 1);

shape.circle(nest.getCenter().x, nest.getCenter().y, radius, 500);
