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 by using the controls in the Outline section of the Object properties docker, the
Outline pen dialog box, and the property bar. For example, you can specify the color, width, and style of lines and outlines.
You can choose a corner style to control the corner shape in lines and choose a line cap style to change the appearance of a line’s endpoints.
By default, an outline is applied on top of an object’s fill, but you can apply it behind the fill, with the fill overlapping the outline. You can
also link the outline thickness to an object’s size so that the outline increases when you increase the object’s size and decreases when you
decrease the object’s size. In addition, you can set the outline to print on top of underlying colors, without removing them during printing.
