Two styles called Brush Stroke and Edge Effect let you apply a brush,
chosen from the Brushes tab, to your line or your object's edge. You'll see your
current brush shown in the Line tab. Both effects look great when applied to
artistic text titles or to picture edges (see Scarlet illustration).
In the above example, a white brush is used around the title text and a stylish
"painted" edge has been applied (remember to pick from the Edges category in
the Brushes tab).
Changing line caps and joins
The Line tab also lets you vary a line's Cap (end) and the Join (corner) where
two lines intersect. Both properties tend to be more conspicuous on thicker
lines; joins are more apparent with more acute angles.
Changing line width
On a selected line, curve, or shape (opposite),
drag the Weight slider in the Line tab. To
turn off the line, set the box to 0.0pt.
