The context menu
When an object is selected, you can right-click on the object to bring
up a context menu, which provides additional access to the options
shown above and another way to change an object’s attributes. The
entries with a small arrow on the right-hand side contain a submenu.
Editing lines and borders
Lines (like arrows) and the borders of an
object are managed through the same dialog.
An object’s border is just another type of line.
You can change some properties from the Line and Filling toolbar. To
see more options, select the object and click on the Line icon or
right-click on the object and choose Line from the context menu. This
opens the Line dialog.
Common line properties
In most cases the property you want to change is the line’s style (solid,
dashed, invisible, and so on), its color, or its width. These options are
all available from the Line and Filling toolbar (Figure 170).
You can also edit these properties from the Line dialog, where you can
also change the line’s transparency. Figure 172 illustrates different
degrees of transparency.
