Changing line caps and joins
The Line tab also lets you vary a line's Cap (end) and the Join (corner) where
two lines intersect. Both properties tend to be more conspicuous on thicker
lines; joins are more apparent with more acute angles.
Changing line width
On a selected line, curve, or shape (opposite),
drag the Width slider in the Line tab. To turn
off the line, set the box to 0pt.
Sampling colours
Use the Colour Picker tool to sample (and then reuse) a colour from anywhere
on your computer screen. The picked colour can then be made the current line
or fill colour in DrawPlus.
Various sampling methods can be used depending on the type of object fill or
screen area to be sampled.
Point sampler
Use for picking up an individual pixel
colour directly under the cursor.
Square/circle sampler
Use for sampling halftone images,
dithered GIFs, or images with
undesirable colour artefacts. The colours
within the shaped black outlined region
in the magnification area are averaged,
rather than using a specific pixel colour.
