Stroke Style defines what style of stroke or border to use. Primarily, the Stroke Style controls the type of line drawn around the component (table, chart, shape, etc) that you are using. There are four pre-configured Stroke Style templates you can choose from.
Each of these Stroke Styles come with their own set of properties. In the Design panel, select a component, and choose any one of the style templates from the Stroke Style property in the Properties tab. You can use the Stroke Style as is, or double click on any of the rows or cells to change its individual properties. For example, you might want to change the thickness of the lines or create a dashed line around the border of a component. This is easy to do: select the component, row, or cell, and change the Width under the Stroke property (thickness of the lines is specified in pixels). Then view your report with the Preview tab. You can keep repeating this step until you get the desired result.
Each Stroke shares some properties with other strokes, but have their own unique properties. The only exception is that the Hidden Stroke Style does not have any properties. Note: If you switch between stroke styles your values will be overwritten by defaults. This is not true when switching to the Hidden type.
The properties for each Stroke Style are shown below.
Shape Outline is a solid line outline around a component or shape. It has the following properties that you can use as is, or change.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Color | Color to use for the stroke. |
Dash Pattern | A "Dash Pattern" string to specify the number of pixels on and off. For example "5,10" |
Width | Width of the shape in pixels. |
This example shows a report with a Shape Outline around the Table component at the bottom of the image. Select the whole table to set stroke and fill for it. The property values used to create the outline around the data are shown in the properties list in the table below.
Table Stroke and Fill Properties | Property | Value |
---|---|---|
Stroke Style | Shape Outline | |
Stroke Color | Red | |
Width | 2 pixels |
The Border Stroke Style is similar to the Shape Outline, but it gives you the option to disable the any of the lines around the border; bottom; left; right; or top.
Property | Description |

Border Bottom | If true, show the border on the bottom side of the shape. |
Border Left | If true, show the border on the left side of the shape. |
Border Right | If true, show the border on the right side of the shape. |
Border Top | If true, show the border on the top side of the shape. |

This example used the Border Stroke Style for the Equipment Summary cell at the bottom of a Table. (Total: @total.Downtime@Minutes). Three images appear inside the outline because they are in the Equipment Header (unstructured) row. The property values are shown for the Table, Row, and Cell in the property lists below.

By default, the Double Stroke Style consists of two parallel lines around the component. You can choose to disable any of the lines at the bottom, left, right, or top. You can also change the width of both lines and the separation between these lines, if desired.
