Border

Use the “Objects->Border” menu to draw a new border or change an existing border.

The “Create border” button or the button in the toolbar panel allow a line to be drawn around the points with the left mouse button. The “Esc” key deletes the last point. The right mouse button connects the line ends. After defining a line, the “Add Border to Map” button automatically stores it in the file Border.brd and links with the given object. The border can be deleted, stored in a file of different name and later recovered. One can change the thickness and border color or fully hide a border.

Width or line thickness is given in pixels beginning from zero. Width 0 and 1 appear the same in the screen. When zooming, however, for example in the package Excel, a width of 1 increases; a width of 0 does not.

When building isoline maps with borders, the "Value" button sets the border value.
