E.g. \[pixels on\] \[pixels off\] \[pixels on\] \[pixels off\]. Simply type in the numbers separated by a space character. - **Pattern**: The stroke is one of a preset number of patterns. ![stroke-pattern](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/stroke-pattern-4.png?width=541&name=stroke-pattern-4.png) \- Opens the [**Color Picker**](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-color-picker?hsLang=en) dialogue to define the stroke colour. \- The following stroke patterns are available: **     Stroke Width**: Selects the stroke width in the drop-down list.
