# Options on the General tab of the Line Properties dialog box

The following table shows the options on the General tab of the Line Properties dialog box.

Options | Descriptions
--- | ---
Line style | Select the line style. If you select a style other than Solid, the line width must be 1 pixel. Dash-Dot and Dash-Dot-Dot show as Dot on the PanelView Plus family terminals.
Back style | Select whether the object background is solid or transparent. If you select Transparent, the object’s background is not filled in and any objects behind it show through. If you choose Solid, the spaces between dots and dashes (if the Line style is other than solid) will be filled with the back color.
Fore color | This box shows the color for the object’s line. Click it to select another color.
Back color | This box shows the current background color for the object. Click it to select another color. If the background style is transparent, the application does not use this background color. For a line style other than Solid, the background color is used for the spaces between the dots or dashes.
Line width | Type the number of pixels for the width of the line. Any line style other than solid must have a width of 1 pixel.
