With the help of this dialog, you can set the appearance of graphic objects in terms of borders and corners. You can specify the line thickness, border style, corner radius, and type. The prerequisite is that the objects have been selected by you.

You can access the dialog through the context menu ("Borders and Corners") or the Floating Toolbox:

The following animation shows you how to operate the dialog. More detailed explanations of the individual functions can be found in the sections below.

Preview

At the bottom left of the dialog is the icon for the preview. When activated, you see the left icon; when deactivated, the eye is crossed out. By default, the preview functionality is turned off.

Values are only assigned when you

• press the "Assign" button or
• switch to another section within the properties.

Back to the original values

This is a "mini-undo" – with this button, you return to the values that were last assigned to the paragraph. This is helpful if you have tried different things and want to revert to the original value without having to close the dialog.

Close

The properties dialog will be closed. Changes that have not yet been assigned will be lost. No confirmation will be requested.

Assign

The changes made will be assigned.

Selection

By clicking in the center of the selection element, all elements are activated or deactivated. If different sides and corners have been selected, clicking in the center of the selection element will deselect everything.

Sides

By selecting the lines at the outer edge, you can select the border line of an object.

Corners

The individual corners can be selected via the indicated corner elements.

Central selection

In the center of the selection element is the control that allows all elements to be selected or deselected. If at least one element has been selected, this control will first perform a deselection.

Default settings

Line thickness

Specify the desired line thickness here. Decimal places can also be entered here.

Border style

Select the desired border style. A border style can be chosen from the selection. The predefined styles are fixed and cannot be expanded. However, the border can also be designed with decorative elements using other elements than lines.

The dashed and dotted line styles cannot be applied to elements with convex or concave elements.

Corner radius

You can specify the corner radius for the corners. The corner radius is always the same for all corners.

Corner type

A corner type can be selected from the options. The following corner types are available:

• rectangular
• convex
• concave
• slanted
• inside right-angled

The representation in Stylo suggests for the display frame that the cut-out part of the corner shines through in white. In the output, the part of the display outside is rendered transparent.

The corner types can be chosen differently for the corners. To do this, select the corners to be changed in the selection tool and then choose the corner type.

Color …

The color dialog will open, and you can determine the color of the border (including the corners). Different coloring of various sides or corners is not provided.
