The Structure of Drawings 162
In addition to the FillTransparence property, the
com.sun.star.drawing.FillProperties
service also provides the FillTransparenceGradient property. This is used to define a
gradient that specifies the transparency of a fill area.
Line Properties
All drawing objects that can have a border line support the
com.sun.star.drawing.LineStyle
service. Some of the properties that this service provides are:
LineStyle (Enum)
line type (default values in accordance with
com.sun.star.drawing.LineStyle
)
LineColor (Long)
line color
LineTransparence (Short)
line transparency
LineWidth (Long)
line thickness in hundredths of a millimeter
LineJoint (Enum)
transitions to connection points (default values in accordance with
com.sun.star.drawing.LineJoint
)
The following example creates a rectangle with a solid border (LineStyle = SOLID) that is 5
millimeters thick (LineWidth) and 50 percent transparent. The right and left-hand edges of
the line extend to their points of intersect with each other (LineJoint = MITER) to form a
right-angle.
