LINE STYLE

Guide Section: Diagramming | EASAP Tree: DIAGRAM LIST


A LINE STYLE defines a particular style of line for use in a DIAGRAM. Line properties such as thickness, color and solid or dashed are set using LINE STYLE.

A LINE STYLE is used in another DIAGRAM by setting the value of the Line Style: parameter to one of the existing LINE STYLE objects.

A 'solid 1.0 pt. thick, black line' is used by default for Line Style: parameters.
