List of lines
|
The list of names and samples of line styles is presented in the form of a table.
The last column of the table contains options that include the corresponding style in the list of styles available when creating an object. The option in the column header allows you to enable/disable all listed styles to be included in the list at once. It can be in one of three states:
•enabled  — all options in the list are included (all listed styles are included in the list of styles available when creating an object),
•undefined  — list contains both enabled and disabled options (styles with enabled options are available when creating an object, while styles with disabled options are not available),
•disabled  — all options in the list are disabled (none of the styles is included in the list of styles available when creating an object).
The first line style in the list has no option. It cannot be disabled, i.e. it is always considered enabled. Therefore, it is always available when creating an object.
