Java – how to smooth the paint path when painting with variable width strokes

I created a sample drawing application. Users can draw with variable width strokes. So far, the drawing path of variable strokes is working, but the drawn lines are not smooth. The code I used to implement is as follows

Help me solve this problem, because I have insisted on it in the last two days

The output I get

The output I want to achieve

resolvent:

When you detect a change, you can set the target and insert the target until it is reached, instead of immediately jumping to the new stroke width. Your mstrokes need to be floats instead of integers

private static final float stroke_DELTA = 0.0001f; // for float comparison
private static final float stroke_INCREMENT = 0.01f; // amount to interpolate
private float currentstroke = stroke_WIDTH;
private float targetstroke = stroke_WIDTH;

Where you currently create a new path for the new stroke width:

// if current not roughly equal to target
if( Math.abs(targetstroke - currentstroke) > stroke_DELTA ) {
    // move towards target by the increment
    if( targetstroke > currentstroke )
        currentstroke = Math.min(targetstroke, currentstroke + stroke_INCREMENT);
    else
        currentstroke = Math.max(targetstroke, currentstroke - stroke_INCREMENT);
    mPath.lineTo(mX, mY);

    mPath = new Path();
    mPath.moveTo(mX,mY);
    mPaths.add(mPath);
    mstrokes.add(currentstroke);
}

You will update targetstroke. For the current setting of variablewidthdelta
