CHAPTER 4 DRAWING 137 If you use Line Width rather than a paint tool, you can specify the type of line that will be used by clicking the expander next to Line Style (Figure 4-16). Figure 4-16. Line styles in Stroke Selection Cap style changes the look of the ends of lines; Join style does the same for places where lines connect to other lines (for instance, at the corners of a rectangle). Miter limit specifies how sharp or blunt the corners will be. A limit of zero makes the corners as sharp as possible; higher numbers make them look more blunted or rounded. Cap and join styles and miter limits won t be very noticeable unless your line is quite wide. Dash pattern lets you make a dashed line and specify exactly how the dashes will appear (drag horizontally in the preview to make different patterns). Dash preset lets you choose from a selection of common dashed-line styles. You ve already seen what Antialiasing can do, in the section on the Paintbrush tool. It can be helpful on rounded or diagonal lines. You can also stroke with a pattern (which generally will only be interesting if you use a fairly large line width). I ll talk about patterns in a moment. Note Both rectangular and elliptical selections offer antialiasing, which uses transparency along the edges of the selection to make boundaries appear smoother. They also let you feather edges: you can make the edges of your selection fuzzy rather than sharp. This isn t useful for outlining selections, but it can be useful when you re filling them. There are also some other selection options that you ll learn about in Chapter 5.
