The following options appear on the Tool Options palette for the Pen tool and Preset Shape tool.
Line Style Sets line style, such as solid or dashed. To create your own line styles, see Creating Custom Line Styles.
Width Sets the line width, from 0.5 to 255 pixels.
Join Sets the type of corners for the path:
Miter Produces mitered (pointed) corners when the width of the corner is within the Miter Limit value and produces beveled corners when the corner width exceeds the limit.
Round Produces round corners.
Bevel Produces flattened corners.
Miter limit This option is available only when you select Miter in the Join group box. The value determines whether the corner is mitered (pointed) or beveled (flattened). Higher miter limits will create more pointed corners. Lower miter limits will create more beveled corners.
Anti-alias Mark this check box to use anti-aliasing, which smooths the jagged edges of lines by softening the color transition between edge pixels and background pixels.
Curve Tracking (Pen tool only) The distance in pixels between the nodes of a Freehand line. A higher value will create smoother, less precise lines. A lower value will create more segmented, precise lines.
Retain style (Preset Shape tool only) Mark this check box to use the line and fill settings of the preset shape. Clear this check box to use the current foreground and background material for the lines and fill.
