Example

This is an example of a horizontal line with a thickness of five pixels:

   <line sid="BLUE_LINE">
      <size>
         <width>40</width>
         <height>0</height>
      </size>
      <thickness>5</thickness>
   </line>

Usage details

1. Specify the dimensions of a line using the size and thickness options. The size option determines whether the line is vertical or horizontal. If the horizontal dimension is set to zero, then the line is vertical. If the vertical dimension is set to zero, then the line is horizontal. Size is calculated in characters.
2. The thickness option determines how thick the line will be. Thickness is calculated in pixels.
3. The fontinfo option information is used when calculating the line's size. The size option's unit of measurement is characters; therefore, choice of font can affect the size. See the size option for more information.
4. The fontcolor option defines the color of the line.
