public class Line
extends OutlinedItem
implements Externalizable

Class Line provides a DrawingItem that consists of one or more straight line segments. The line may have an Arrow at either or both ends. The line may have sharp corners or round corners. The line has an outline but no filled interior.

If the line has round corners, the round corner distance gives the distance from where the (sharp) corner would normally be to the starting and ending points of the round corner arc, as shown in the adjoining diagram. (The round corner distance is d.) A round corner distance of 0 results in a sharp corner. In a particular line, the same round corner distance is used for every corner; that is, either all the corners are sharp or all the corners are rounded the same amount. Different lines can have different round corner distances.

The static defaultStartArrow(), defaultEndArrow(), and defaultRound() methods are provided to set the default starting arrow, ending arrow, and round corner distance. If the starting arrow, ending arrow, or round corner distance is not specified, the current default starting arrow, ending arrow, or round corner distance is used.
