<h2>4.5 Line width, line dash pattern, and arrows</h2>
<p>
The <em>Line</em> toolbar permits setting the dash-dot pattern (solid
line, dashed, dotted etc.) as well as the width of lines. This has
effect for the boundaries of <em>path objects</em>, such as polygons and
polygonal lines, splines, circles and ellipses, rectangles and
circular arcs. It does not effect text or marks.
<p>Line width is given in Postscript points (1/72 inch). A good value is
something around 0.4 or 0.6.<sup><a href="manual_44.html#id3">3</a></sup>
<p>On the same toolbar you can set the current arrow mode and arrow
size. Only polygonal lines, splines, and circular arcs can have
arrows.
<p>Arrows are by default drawn as triangles in the stroke color. Note
that they extend beyond the endpoint of the line by an amount linear
in the line width. If that is a problem, you can duplicate the object,
give one copy the arrows and line width zero, and move the endpoints
of the other copy slightly so they fall in the interior of the arrows
of the first copy.
