OUTLINE

OUTLINE creates a colored contour line around the shapes of the associated text.

This outline normally renders quite ugly as it is done by printing 4 or 8 texts underneath the text in question. Try to use a shadow with a high intensity instead. That works better!

Must point to the TEXT object, if these outline properties are not properties to a TEXT object directly ("stand-alone outline"). Then the outline needs to know which TEXT object it should be an outline of!

If - on the other hand - the outline is a property to a TEXT object, this property is not needed.
