Object properties, Lines tab

 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Note: This tab is only available for certain types of objects.

Use the Lines tab to specify the type of lines to use for the object. For drawings, this applies to the lines used to draw the object; for all other objects, it applies to the lines that border the object.

Available options:

Tip: Many of these options can also be found directly on the object-specific ribbon tab in the command group Format.

▪Variants

Here, you can select the desired line style.
The entries in this list are merely default variants. If required, you can specify the appearance of the lines more precisely via the options of the dialog box.

▪Color

This option lets you specify the color of the lines.

▪Dashed

Here, you can specify whether solid or dashed lines should be used.

▪Thickness

Here, you can specify the exact thickness of the lines (in points).

▪Transparency

If desired, you can use the option Transparency to change the transparency of the lines. You can enter any value between 0% (no transparency) and 100% (full transparency).

▪Start point and End point

These options are only available for lines, curves and connectors.
Here, you can specify whether an icon should be drawn at the start point or end point of the line. If, for example, you select an arrow icon for the end point, the line will look like an arrow. If necessary, you can also change the Width and the Height of the icon.
