This command is found at
<span class="guimenu">Edit</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Stroke Path...</span>
It is also available by clicking on the button with the same name in
the
Path dialog .
</p>
<p>
You have two operating methods to stroke a path, using or without
using a paint tool:
</p>
<div class="simplesect" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="variablelist">
<p class="title">
<b>Stroke line</b>
</p>
<p>
The foreground color of the Toolbox is used. You don't use any
paint tool, but many many parameters are available:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">Line Width</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can set the stroke width using the slider or the text box.
Default is pixels, but you can choose another unit by the
arrow button.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Cap Style</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can choose the shape of the ends of an unclosed path,
either <span class="emphasis"><em>Butt</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>Round</em></span>
or <span class="emphasis"><em>Square</em></span>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Join Style</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can choose the shape the path corners will have by
clicking on <span class="emphasis"><em>Miter</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>Round</em></span>
or <span class="emphasis"><em>Bevel</em></span>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Miter limit</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
In joinery, a miter joint is a joint of two boards forming
an acute angle. Here, it's the angle between two path
segments. If stroke is wide, the angle tip will look
blunt. The Miter Limit function fills the gap between the
borders of the path segments extended until they
intersect, giving so the angle a tapered tip.

</div>
<p>
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Dash Pattern</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Dash is shown at a pixel level in a small box. You can modify
it as you want. An area with thin vertical lines inside the
box shows the limits of the pixels. If you click on it you add
a pixel to the dash. If you click outside, you remove a pixel.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Dash Preset</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can select a dash pattern in the drop-down combination box.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Anti-aliasing</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Oblique or rounded strokes may have stepped borders. This
option smoothes them.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Style</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can choose either the <span class="emphasis"><em>Solid</em></span> or the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Pattern</em></span> style. Pattern is that selected
in the Toolbox.
