Width:
Increasing the
Width
will make the
Stroke
thicker. The units are in pixels thus the same values give
the same results whether your SCAL
Units
are set to inches, cm, or mm.
IMPORTANT:
The
Stroke Width
does not affect how a shape or line is cut or drawn. It’s only used for
display and printing purposes.
•
Join
consists of three options which affect how sharp corners are handled:
Miter
:
Corners are sharp but will become beveled at low values of
Miter
Round
:
Corners are rounded off.
Bevel
:
Corners are clipped at a 45
o
angle.
•
Just as with
Opacity,
there’s not a strong visual difference if the
Stroke Width
is small. Thus to illustrate
Join
, a
Stroke Width
of 20 will be used:
•
End Caps:
Unclosed shapes, such as lines and arcs, can have the
Stroke
shape on the ends changed,
similar to the
Join
setting. The choices are:
Butt
:
The end is squared off, aligned with the actual end of the path
Round
:
The end is rounded.
Square
: The end is squared off and extends beyond the actual end based on the
Stroke Width
.

and
