Height of the font in the symbol
DI001955 Min. width
Minimum width for scaled objects with a length of 0, specified in tenths of a millimeter
Example
- For a task with duration = 0, a fraction of the bar with the width specified here is to be displayed at the task start date.

- @: Content will not dominate anything else = transparent margin
DI002028 Margin color
Preview field to the Margin color data field of the same name.
DI001744 Border thickness
Thickness of the line used in drawing the content, in tenths of a millimeter.
Note
- The height of the Record separation, Area end, and Area separation symbols is determined by this field.
DI001740 Border form
Values
- 0: there is no margin
- 1: continuous bar, pointed corners
- 2: line
- 3: triangle, pointing to the right
- 4: triangle, pointing up
- 5: triangle, pointing to the left
- 6: triangle, pointing down
- 7: circle
- 8: continuous bar, rounded corners

Specifies the pattern of the outline.
Values
- 0: pulled through
- 1: dashed
- 2: dotted
- 3: dash dot dash dot

Note
- Under Windows, lines are only affected by the pattern if their width is exactly 1 pixel. Since they are specified in tenths of a millimeter, different results are obtained at different screen resolutions. I.e. if the thickness is too great, all visible patterns will be displayed as "continuous" lines.
