Line properties
The Line page is where you can set the basic parameters of the line and is divided into four
sections as follows.
Line properties section
Use the Line Properties section on the left side to set the following parameters:
• Line style – several line styles are available from the drop-down list, but more line styles
can be defined if necessary.
• Color – choose from the predefined colors in the drop-down list or create a new color.
• Width – specifies the thickness of the line.
• Transparency – sets the transparency of a line. Figure 74 shows the effects of different
percentages in transparency levels to lines when placed over an object.

Arrow styles section
The Arrow styles section of the Line dialog is only applicable to individual lines and is not used for
lines that form the borders of a shape.
• Style – sets the style of the two ends of a line. The left drop-down menu is for where you
start the line and the right drop-down menu is for where you end the line.
• Width – specifies the thickness of the arrow endings
• Center – moves the center of the arrow endings to the end point of the line. Figure 75
shows the effects of selecting this option.
• Synchronize ends – makes the two line ends identical.
