The preview gives an indication of the effect. Here, I’ve chosen a large Size Variance value. Click the Properties button and you’ll see this dialog box, which allows you to set the brush width, size variance, and opacity variance, with sliders and a Pressure graph. There are also buttons to place the arrow within the line or at the end of the line, and to swap the arrow head and tail.Īt the bottom of the Stroke panel is the Pressure section, which features a graph pop-up on the right and a Properties button on the left. A simple slider allows you to set the size from 25%–500%. Use the scales to the right of the arrow type to choose how large the arrowhead should be, relative to the size of the stroke. Click the icon next to the words Start and End, and you’ll see a range of 25 different arrowheads to choose from – including one featuring the Affinity logo. Using the Cap control you can set them to be rounded, terminating at the end of the path, or extending beyond the path by the width of the stroke.Īrrows can be added to either the start or the end of any path. If your path is open rather than closed – in other words, if the starting point and end point are not joined together – then you can decide how you want the strokes to appear at the ends.
But when your object has sharp angles, you will have to increase the Miter value to prevent the stroke from being sheared off (appearing beveled) at the joins. In rectangular objects, it has no effect.
This is how far the stroke is allowed to stick out at the join. With mitered joins you can set the miter limit. Again, there are three options: joins can be rounded, beveled, or mitered (squared off). If your stroke is aligned to the outside your object, then you have a choice of what happens at the corners. You can change this, using the Align setting, to be either inside or outside the object instead. Aligning Strokes: Centered, Inside, or Outsideīy default, a stroke is centered on the path of your object. And if you’re an Adobe Illustrator user, this will all be very familiar to you. You can control all aspects of an object’s stroke using the Stroke panel. The stroke is the outline around the perimeter. Objects in Affinity Designer, like all vector artwork, have two fundamental formatting attributes: fill and stroke.
