Use the
Corner style
section of this page to choose how the connection
between two segments should look. There are four available options in
the drop-down menu.
The bottom part of the page shows a preview of the applied style and a
preview of two corners so that the corner style choice can be quickly
evaluated. To appreciate the difference between corner styles, choose
a thick line style and observe how the preview changes.
Creating line styles
Use the
Line Styles
page of the Line dialog box (shown in Figure 95) to
create new line styles and load previously saved line styles. Normally it
is not a good practice to modify the predefined styles; instead, create
new ones when necessary.
Figure 95: Advanced options for creating line styles
To create a new line style:
1) Choose Format > Line from the menu bar.
2) Select from the
Line style
drop-down menu a style similar to the
desired one.
3) Click Add. On the pop-up dialog box, type a name for the new line
style and click OK.
4) Now define the new style. Start by selecting the line type for the
new style. To alternate two line types (for example, dashes and
dots) within a single line, select different types in the two Type
boxes.
