<p>
You can control the appearance of <a href="geda-gschem_ug-graphics.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gschem_ug-graphics.html">graphical elements</a> in schematics and symbols in a number of ways.
</p>

</div>
<!-- EDIT798 SECTION "Colors and Styles" [94-238] -->
<h3 class="sectionedit799"><a name="object_color" id="object_color">Object color</a></h3>
<div class="level3">

<p>
Colors of objects in a schematic or symbol are set using a limited color palette, with the various colors having particular meanings.  To change which color an object is drawn in, select it and select <strong>Edit→Color</strong>.  This will display the “Color Edit” window, where you can choose the color to use from a drop down menu which shows a preview of each color and color name.
</p>

<p>
<p><div class="notetip">Remember that other users may view your schematics and symbols using a different color map to the one you used to create them, so they may not appear in the same way that they do to you.  See also <a href="geda-gschem_ug-viewing_schematics.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gschem_ug-viewing_schematics.html">Viewing schematics</a>.

<h3 class="sectionedit800"><a name="line_width_and_dashing" id="line_width_and_dashing">Line width and dashing</a></h3>
<div class="level3">

<p>
Lines, arcs and the outlines of boxes, circles and polygons have an adjustable line width and dash pattern.  Select the items to be modified, and use <strong>Edit→Line Width &amp; Type</strong> to show the “Edit Line Width &amp; Type” window. There are several supported dashing patterns:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Solid”. Continuous solid line (this is the default).</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Dotted”.  In this case, the line is drawn with a series of dots spaced by the “Dash Space”, and the diameter of the dots is controlled by the line width.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Dashed”.  The line is drawn with a series of dashes; the length of the dashes is controlled by the “Dash Length”, and the space between dashes by the “Dash Space”.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Center”.  The line is drawn with alternating dashes (of length “Dash Length”) and dots.  The spacing between the dashes and dots is the “Dash Space”.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Phantom”.  The same as “Center”, except with two dots between each pair of dashes (i.e. “dash-dot-dot-dash” instead of “dash-dot-dash”).</div>
</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="sectionedit801"><a name="fill_patterns_for_shapes" id="fill_patterns_for_shapes">Fill patterns for shapes</a></h3>
<div class="level3">

<p>
Boxes, circles and polygons can have their interiors filled with a variety of patterns.  Use <strong>Edit→Fill Type…</strong> to show the “Edit Fill Type” window.  The available patterns are:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Hollow”. The shape is unfilled (this is the default).</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Filled”. Fill the shape with a solid color.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Hatch”. Fill the shape with hatching.  You must specify the angle for the hatching lines (“Angle 1”) and the spacing between them (“Pitch 1”).</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> “Mesh”. Fill the shape with hatching in two directions.  Like “Hatch”, you must specify angle and spacing, but once for each hatching direction.</div>
</li>
</ul>

<p>
For both the “Hatch” and “Mesh” fill patterns, you must provide the “Line Width” for the hatching lines.
</p>
