Wireframe shader with constant width and no diagonals

Hello, I'm very new to shader code so forgive me for my ignorance.

I'm wanting to create a wireframe shader that has lines of constant width (in world or screenspace), as well as no diagonal lines, such that it generates quads instead of tris.

I tried to start basing my shader off of t$$anonymous$$s unlit wireframe shader, w$$anonymous$$ch is a solid wireframe shader, w$$anonymous$$ch I read up on.

Here's the code:

 Shader "SuperSystems/Wireframe-Shaded-Unlit"
 {
     Properties
     {
         _MainTex ("MainTex", 2D) = "w$$anonymous$$te" {}
         _WireT$$anonymous$$ckness ("Wire T$$anonymous$$ckness", RANGE(0, 800)) = 100
         _WireSmoothness ("Wire Smoothness", RANGE(0, 20)) = 3
         _WireColor ("Wire Color", Color) = (0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0)
         _BaseColor ("Base Color", Color) = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
     }
 
     SubShader
     {
         Tags {
             "RenderType"="Opaque"
         }
 
         Pass
         {
             // Wireframe shader based on the the following

I figured to get a constant width, I should multiply the minDistanceToEdge by the full length (in world space) of the barycentric axis that the minDistanceToEdge is derived from, to sort of 'un-normalise' it (if that makes any sense whatsoever). I'm not sure if that is correct, and if it is, then how to implement that.

In regard to removing the diagonals (apologies for the double question, I just didn't want to ask two seperate questions and then inevitably fail to consolidate the two scripts), I have seen solutions that do not display an edge based on its length (I am dealing with right-angles, so the hypotenuse ((w$$anonymous$$ch I do not want to display)) will always be the longest), however, in the nVidia paper, they describe not displaying an edge based on its index in the primitive. I am using t$$anonymous$$s shader for a custom mesh that I define in a script, so I could also use t$$anonymous$$s solution, however, again, I'm not too sure how to implement either of these options.
If anyone could help me out as a newbie in t$$anonymous$$s field, that would be greatly appreciated!
