Customizing the border of a node shape

Properties for customizing a node border

The border of the shape is controlled by the properties borderColor , borderWidth , borderLineStyle , borderEndCap , borderLineJoin , borderMiterLimit , and borderLineStylePhase .

The borderColor property sets the color used to paint the border.

The other properties are used to create an instance of java.awt.BasicStroke :

borderWidth specifies the width of the border.
borderLineStyle is used to create dashed or dotted borders. It is an array of floating-point values that specify the lengths of the alternate painted and transparent segments.
borderEndCap specifies the shape of the ends of the dash segments.
borderLineJoin and borderMiterLimit control the appearance of the border at the angles between two segments.

See the Java™ documentation of the java.awt.BasicStroke class for more details on these properties.
