## Constructor

### [name]( [param:Object parameters] )

[page:Object parameters] - (optional) an object with one or more properties defining the material's appearance. Any property of the material (including any property inherited from [page:Material]) can be passed in here.
The exception is the property [page:Hexadecimal color], which can be passed in as a hexadecimal string and is *0xffffff* (white) by default. [page:Color.set]( color ) is called internally.

## Properties

See the base [page:Material] class for common properties.

### [property:Color color]

[page:Color] of the material, by default set to white (0xffffff).

### [property:Boolean isLineBasicMaterial]

Used to check whether this or derived classes are line basic materials. Default is *true*.
You should not change this, as it used internally for optimisation.

### [property:Float linewidth]

Controls line thickness. Default is *1*.
Due to limitations of the [link:https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/specs/gl/glspec46.core.pdf OpenGL Core Profile] with the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer on most platforms linewidth will always be 1 regardless of the set value.

### [property:String linecap]

Define appearance of line ends. Possible values are 'butt', 'round' and 'square'. Default is 'round'.
This corresponds to the [link:https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/lineCap 2D Canvas lineCap] property and it is ignored by the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer.

### [property:String linejoin]

Define appearance of line joints. Possible values are 'round', 'bevel' and 'miter'. Default is 'round'.
This corresponds to the [link:https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/lineJoin 2D Canvas lineJoin] property and it is ignored by the [page:WebGLRenderer WebGL] renderer.
