# Multipass

Add multiple passes to each line. Each line is extended with a mirrored copy of itself, optionally multiple times. This is useful for pens that need several passes to ensure a good quality. See [https://vpype.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference.html#multipass](https://vpype.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference.html#multipass). Also check out [vpype Free Mode](https://wiki.stadtfabrikanten.org/books/fablab-chemnitz/page/vpype-free-mode) which can do the same and more.
