Polyline



A polyline is created by selecting polyline in the tool panel and drag MB1 in the working area.
When MB1 is released, the first line segment is created. By dragging MB1 additional line
segments are created. When all the line segments are drawn, the drawing sequence is terminated
with MB3.

If you want to move a single breakpoint in a polyline, you select the polyline and activate
'Edit/Edit polyline' in the menu. The editing is terminated with MB3.

By activating 'Functions/MoveRestrictions/Horizontal' or 'Vertical' you draw horizontal and
vertical lines. Horizontal or Vertical states the direction of the first line segment. The
following segments are drawn perpendicular to the previous segment. MoveRestrictions can be
disabled when drawing a polyline with 'Functions/MoveRestrictions/No'.

Attributes

Attribute      Description
shadow_width      The with of the 3D-shadow in % of width or length (the smallest).
shadow_contrast     Contrast of the 3D-shadow.
gradient_contrast   Contrast of the gradient. A value in the range 0 - 10.
relief       Up gives a shadow on the lower side, and Down gives a shadow on the upper side.
gradient       Type of gradient.
transparency       Level of transparency, A value in the range 0.0 - 1.0.
disable_shadow      Disables the 3D-function. Is used when the object is a part of a subgraph
      an not should be drawn with 3D when 3D is chosen for the instance of the
      subgraph.
disable_gradient    Disables the gradient function. Is used when the object is a part of a subgraph
      an not should be drawn with gradient when gradient is chosen for the instance of the
      subgraph.
fill_eq_border      Indicates that the fill color is drawn with the specified border color instead
      of the current fill color. This is used for subgraphs where certain elements,
      e.g. arrows, have more in common with the border color than the fill color.
fill_eq_background   Indicates that the fill color is drawn with the specified background color
      for the object, instead of the current fill color.
fill_eq_light       If the object is a part of a subgraph, it will have the light 3D-color,
      when 3D is chosen for the subgraph.
fill_eq_shadow      If the object is a part of a subgraph, it will have the same color as a 3D
      shadow, when 3D is chosen for the subgraph.
fill_eq_bglight     If the object is a part of a subgraph, it is drawn the light 3D-tone of
      the background color when 3D is chosen for the subgraph.
fill_eq_bgshadow    If the object is a part of a subgraph, it drawn with the dark 3D-tone of
      the background color, when 3D is chosen for the subgraph.
fixcolor       The color is fix. This is used when the object is a part of a subgraph and
      should not be affected by color setting of the subgraph.
fixposition       The object can not be moved.
Dynamic       Not implemented.
