Stroke Color

The Stroke Color property controls the color of lines and borders. You can change it using the Stroke color button on the Properties bar or the Graphic Properties panel.

Pen color can be selected as:

  • By layer: the object uses the color defined by its layer.
  • Contrast: a variable color that always contrasts with the background of the page. On printouts it is always black as the background of the paper is assumed to be white.
  • None: makes the outline of the object invisible.
  • Indexed color: you can select any color from any active palette. Recently used colors are listed in the Recent items section. This section is always relative to the current project and is empty in new documents.

The Resource Manager icon on the top opens the Colors & Pens Manager panel: use that panel to add new palettes or associate pens and colors.
