Formatting lines and outlines
Lines are treated the same way as outlines of closed shapes, such as ellipses and polygons. In some programs, outlines are known as strokes
or thick lines.
You can change the appearance of both lines and outlines. For example, you can specify their color, width, style, corner shape, and cap style.
You can also remove a line or outline, and you can create your own line or outline style.
