180 Pictures, Lines, and Shapes
Setting line properties
All lines, including those that enclose shapes, have numerous properties,
including color, weight (width or thickness), scaling, cap (end), join (corner),
and stroke alignment. You can vary these properties for any freehand, straight,
or curved line, as well as for the outline of a shape. Note that text frames,
pictures, tables, and artistic text objects have line properties, too.
In PagePlus, you can control the position of the stroke (i.e., line width) in
relation to the object's path, i.e. the line that defines the boundary of the object.
To change line properties of a selected object:
• Use the Swatches tab to change the line's color and/or shade.
Alternatively, use the Color tab to apply a color to the selected object
from a color mixer.
• Use the Line tab, context toolbar (shown when a line is selected), or
Line and Border dialog to change the line's weight (thickness), type, or
other properties. Select a line width, and use the drop-down boxes to
pick the type of line. The context toolbar can also adjust line-end
scaling as a percentage.
On the Line tab, context toolbar, or Line and Border dialog, the styles drop-
down menu provides the following styles: None, Single, Calligraphic, and
several Dashed and Double line styles as illustrated below.
