Line

Foreground color, Background color, Текстура

Choose whether the line is drawn with the current Foreground color or Background color or Pattern, set in the Toolbox. This is distinct from the Dash pattern. If you select one of the two color options with no dash pattern, an unbroken line is drawn in the color set in the Toolbox. If you select Pattern with no dash pattern, an unbroken line is drawn with the pattern set in the Toolbox. If you select a line with a dash pattern, the color or pattern is still determined by the color or pattern set in the Toolbox. That is, if you have a marbled pattern set in the Toolbox, and select Pattern and dashed lines as Dash pattern, the dashes are drawn in the marbled pattern.

Сглаживание

Curved strokes or strokes drawn at an angle may look jagged or stair-stepped. The anti-aliasing option smooths them out.

Line width

Введите ширину границы выделения. Пиксели выбраны как единица измерения по умолчанию, но можно выбрать другие единицы из списка.

Cap style

Choose the shape of the ends of an unclosed path, which can be Butt, Round or Square.

Join style

You can choose the shape of the path corners by clicking on Miter, Round or Bevel.

Miter limit

When two segments of a path come together, the mitering of the corner is determined by the Miter Limit. If the strokes were wide, and no mitering were done, there would be pointed ends sticking out at the corner. The Miter Limit setting determines how the gap, formed when the outer edges of the two lines are extended, will be filled. You can set it to a value between 0.0 and 100.0, by using the slider or the associated text box and its arrows.

Dash pattern

On the pixel level, a dashed line is drawn as a series of tiny boxes. You can modify the pattern of these boxes. The black area with thin vertical lines represents the pixels of the dash. If you click on a black pixel, you remove it from the dash. If you click on a white pixel, you add it to the dash. The gray areas indicate how the pattern will be repeated when a dashed line is drawn.

Dash preset

Instead of making your own dash pattern, you can choose one from the drop-down box. This pattern will then be displayed in the Dash pattern area, so you can get an idea of how it will look.

Paint tool

Select a paint tool to use from the drop-down box to draw the stroke. The current options of the paint tool options are used to draw the stroke.
