Storyline 3: Line Style Formatting
This user guide covers the line style options on the Format Shape/Format Picture window. These options control the appearance of lines, arrows, and object outlines. (See this user guide for ways to access the formatting window.)
Width |
Enter the number of pixels or use the arrows to adjust the line width. |
Compound Type |
If you'd prefer to use multiple outlines, choose a style from the drop-down. |
Dash Type |
To create a dashed line, choose a style from the drop-down. |
Cap Type |
Choose a style for line endings. Flat caps don’t add any shapes or styles to line endings. Square and round caps add a shape to line endings. For example, here are three lines of identical length, each with a different cap type.
|
Join Type |
Choose how lines should look when they intersect: rounded, beveled, or mitered. For example, here’s what each join style looks like on the corners of a square.
|
Arrow Settings |
To add arrows to the ends of a line, choose a style from the Begin type and End type drop-downs, then select a size from the Begin size and End size drop-downs. |
