For the Calligraphic Pen, select additional Width and Angle options:
• Click Fixed to set calligraphic paths to a constant width, or click Variable to
specify a path width between 1 and 72 points.
Set the angle of the Calligraphic pen by entering a value or dragging the Angle
dial between 0° to 359°. The actual width of a stroke at a given location on the
path depends on the direction in which you drag.
• Click OK.
Use the stroke and fill color selectors in the Tools panel to set color attributes
for the path. For a Calligraphic Pen, select no stroke and a basic fill to most
closely resemble a real calligraphy pen. For more information, see “Applying
color in FreeHand” on page 274.
To draw a path with the Pencil tool:
1 Click the Pencil tool in the Tools panel.
2 Drag to draw a path.
