Sketches
Sketches are a bit more informal and playful than Shapes and have more of a freehand feel. The options are context sensitive and change according to the style selected.
In the case of Sketches, the default is Just Fill. Figure 2 shows the options menu with Fill and Stroke selected so that all items appear on the menu. Table 1 describes the features.
Table 1: Features on the Sketch object control panel.
