"Line" Floating Dialog

This dialog is used for working with line properties of shapes: color, pattern, weight, arrowhead type and size, corner rounding.

If there are no shapes selected, the dialog displays the settings that will be applied to new shapes. If there are shapes selected, it will display the attributes of the selected shapes.

 

The Line dialog in Windows:

The Line dialog in Mac OS X:

Color - allows to choose a line color from the list. The color scheme is indicated to the left from the color - the index in the color palette, RGB or CMYK. You can choose the main 32 colors from the list; for more colors choose Custom at the bottom of the list. The Color dialog will come up where you can select the needed color.

Pattern - sets the line pattern (solid or dotted). The index may be in the 0 - 15 range. The 0 value means the line is not displayed (No Line).

Weight - sets the line weight. There are 10 pre-defined values in the list: No Line, 0, 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28. The line weight is specified in units. The last item in the list, Custom, is used to call the Custom Line Weight dialog, where you can set any other line weight. The 0 value means that the line will always look as if it had the 1 weight, regardless of the zoom level.

Corner Rounding - sets the radius used for corner rounding.

The Line Ends specifies the parameters of the line ends.

Begin - allows to choose an arrowhead for the beginning of the line. You can choose an arrowhead within the 1 - 60 range. The No Arrows item denotes no arrowhead.

End - allows to choose an arrowhead for the end of the line. You can choose an arrowhead within the 1 - 60 range. The No Arrows item denotes no arrowhead.

Size - sets the arrowhead size. The following sizes are offered: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge.
