When you initially open the Select Pen palette, it operates in free color mode; you may run your mouse pointer over and select any color in the palette or on your graphics page. Information on free color mode is provided in Free Color Mode.

Transparent Pen

The Transparent checkbox enables you to render the associated object feature (to which the color was to apply) transparent.

 When the Transparent Pen checkbox is selected, color selection from the palette is not permitted.

Width

The Width checkbox enables you to select a number from 1 to 10 indicating the width of the outline in pixels.

The Style spin box enables you to select a number corresponding to a line style for your geometric object. A "1" indicates a solid line (no pattern).

 Line styles and their corresponding index numbers are described in Line Styles.
