You can change the color and either the pattern or width of lines or outlines around outlined objects. Outlined objects include filled shapes such as ellipses, rectangles, and polygons, as well as bitmaps and other imported images.
Wider lines take longer to draw in run time. Dashed and dotted lines can only be one pixel wide.
