  62.           The foreground color of the Toolbox is used. You don't use any 
  63.           paint tool, but many many parameters are available:

  71.               You can set the path width using the slider or the text box. 
  72.               Default is pixels, but you can choose another unit by the

  101.               In joinery, a miter joint is a joint of two boards forming an 
  102.               acute angle. Here, it's the angle between two path segments. 
  103.               If stroke is wide, the angle tip will look blunt. The Miter 
  104.               Limit function fills the gap between the borders of the path 
  105.               segments extended until they intersect, giving so the angle a 
  106.               tapered tip.

  119.               Dash is shown at a pixel level in a small box. You can modify 
  120.               it as you want. An area with thin vertical lines inside the 
  121.               box shows the limits of the pixels. If you click on it you add 
  122.               a pixel to the dash. If you click outside, you remove a pixel.
