Open the [**Color Picker**](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-color-picker?hsLang=en) dialogue to define the stroke colour. ![stroke-line](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/stroke-line-1.png?width=541&name=stroke-line-1.png) - **Dashed**: The stroke is a dashed line. ![stroke-dashed](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/stroke-dashed-1.png?width=541&name=stroke-dashed-1.png) \- Open the [**Color Picker**](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/use-the-color-picker?hsLang=en) dialogue to define the stroke colour. \- The dash pattern is expressed by a series of alternating numbers (on/off) of pixel length in the text box beside the colour button. E.g. \[pixels on\] \[pixels off\] \[pixels on\] \[pixels off\]. Simply enter in the numbers separated by a space character. ![stoke-dashed-example](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/stoke-dashed-example.png?width=330&name=stoke-dashed-example.png) - **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) \- Open 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-pattern](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/stroke-pattern-Dec-06-2024-02-40-37-8311-PM.png?width=597&name=stroke-pattern-Dec-06-2024-02-40-37-8311-PM.png)      **Stroke Width**: Sets the stroke width.
