Applying an ink pen effect
To apply an ink pen effect to a selected
object, you choose a hatch setting and
its associated hatch style, modify the
settings if desired, and apply them
through the Ink Pen Effects dialog box.
The Ink Pen Effects dialog box lets you
control the hatch’s spacing or number of
elements (called
density
), its uniformity
(called
dispersion
), the line thickness (or
stroke weight
), the angle at which the
hatch is applied (called
rotation
), and
the size of the hatch (called its
scale
).
In addition, you can select different
paint attributes for the hatch, including
its shape, color, how the cross-hatching
pattern fades, and the angle of the
fading.
