Draw Multiple-Line Objects
Multilines consist of between 1 and 16 parallel lines, called elements.
You position the elements by specifying the desired offset of each element
from the origin of the multiline. You can create and save multiline styles or
use the default style, which has two elements. You can set the color and line-
type of each element and display or hide the joints of the multiline. Joints
are lines that appear at each vertex. There are several types of end caps you
can give the multiline, for example, lines or arcs.
ten elements
five elements
end caps
three elements
