Lines, Strokes, and Fills
• You can make vector objects that are just lines or strokes. They don’t have any color fill in them.
• You can also fill vector objects with color, so they have both an outline (lines and strokes) and a fill color.
• You can also have objects that have fill but no outline.
• The outline and fill are treated separately unless you group them.
