Changing line style
A series of buttons arranged along
the top of the Line tab set the line
style. No line, Solid, Dash,
Double, and Calligraphic styles
can be applied to freeform lines,
and outlines of shapes, images and
artistic text alike.
The last two effects, Brush Stroke and Edge Effect apply brushed
or fringed edges to images and text with stroke/spray or edge brushes,
respectively.
To change line style:
• Simply click a button to set the line style—only one style can be set any
one time. Pick another button to jump to that style.
Once a style is selected you can choose line ends for most styles (except Brush
Stroke and Edge Effect). For some styles, variations are also available. For
example, for a Dash or Double line style, additional dash patterns (below) and
double line options can be selected.
To select a line end:
• From the drop-down menus, pick a line start and end.
Other styles such as Dash and Calligraphic offer further customization of the
chosen style.
