# Line style

A shape's line style is whether its stroke is solid or dashed, and how the line's ends and corners are drawn.

## Solid or dashed

1. Select the shape and open its **Appearance** controls.
2. Switch the stroke between **Solid** and **Dash** with the two-button toggle.
3. For a dashed line, open **Stroke settings** to set its **dash length** and **gap length**.

## Line ends and corners

Open **Stroke settings** to choose how the line is drawn:

* **Line cap** — how the line's ends are drawn: **Butt** (default), **Round**, or **Square**.
* **Line join** — how the line's corners are drawn: **Miter** (default), **Round**, or **Bevel**.

## What you'll see

The selected shape's outline switches between a solid and a dashed line, with the dash spacing, ends, and corners you set.
