In Gem I would like to make a 2D Bezier curve with the [line2D] object

I can't find any reference to [line2D] in my fresh GEM clone. Do you mean [curve]?

and give it a width bigger than 250, drawing it as "linestrip". But the
line does not get thicker.

250 is quite high.

Is there a limit to it,

Yes.

if so why,

Defined by the underlying OpenGL implementation:
https://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man2/xhtml/glLineWidth.xml

Not sure if GEM exposes the query methods.

and how could I work around this?

Draw wide lines as triangle strips - maybe look at [curve3d] for that?


It's possible in OpenGL 3.2 to use a geometry shader to convert line strips to triangle strips, using input layout lines_adjacency so that you can take into account the corners. But that requires that you draw with GL_LINE_STRIP_ADJACENCY, which isn't supported by GemShape, and the polynomial evaluators used in [curve] were removed before OpenGL version 3.2.
