The Line in Incari provides similar functionality as its equivalent in Figma. Since it is effectively a stroke, the Stroke Attribute controls its initial visibility.
There are several Attributes which allow the user heightened customizability and control.
Besides Name, Type, and Opacity, which appear for every Object in Incari, the Object Attributes include Blend Mode.
This Attribute lets the user set a Blend Mode as a base property of the Line. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. An Object's Blend Mode can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.
The Transformation Attributes deal with placement, rotation, and size in XY space. More information can be found here.
The Fill Attributes consist of different items called Elements. Each Element contains a Type. This can be either Solid, Gradient, Image, or Video and changes some of the available Attributes under this category.
If there is more than one Fill Element, the most recent one will take precedent over the others (unless some Blend Mode is applied).
When Solid is selected, Color is visible.
Color is a color selector that lets the user pick the Fill's color.
Similar to the base property described previously, Blend Mode here affects the Fill Elements only. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. It can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.
Opacity refers to how opaque or transparent the Fill appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
When Gradient is selected, Gradient is visible.
Gradient decides the style of gradient, which can be either Linear, Radial, Angular, or Diamond.
The Gradient color selector has a row of squares going left to right as well as a column going top to bottom. These correspond 1:1 with each other, so in the image above the mustard yellow squares are the same color. The user can drag the squares in the row to change the order of the gradient's colors. Clicking anywhere in the bar will add a square in both the row and column of colors. The user can change the color of a square by clicking it, which opens the color picker.

Opacity refers to how opaque or transparent the Fill appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
When Image is selected, Image and Fit Mode are visible.
Image is the desired Texture file.
Fit Mode determines how the Texture is displayed. These can be Fill, Fit, Crop, and Tile. Tile has the additional Attribute of Scale Factor, which augments the tesselation.

Opacity refers to how opaque or transparent the Fill appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
When Video is selected, Video and Fit Mode are visible.
Video is the desired Video file.
Fit Mode determines how the Video is displayed. These can be Fill, Fit, Crop, and Tile. Tile has the additional Attribute of Scale Factor, which augments the tesselation.
Below Fit Mode are three options: Play, Pause, and Stop. Play starts the video in the Scene2D, Pause halts it at the frame it is currently on, and Stop halts it and resets it to the beginning.
Loop is a Bool that when toggled on, makes the video repeat itself once it finishes. This is continous.

Opacity refers to how opaque or transparent the Fill appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
!When Video is selected, a new Attibute appears in a new Attribute section called Video.
This is Preload, which is a Bool. When enabled, memory is used on Project initializaton and there will be no delay on first play. When disabled, less memory will be used and there will be a small delay on first play.
When Lottie is selected, Lottie and Fit Mode are visible.
Lottie is the desired Lottie file.
Fit Mode determines how the Lottie file is displayed. These can be Fill, Fit, Crop, and Tile. Tile has the additional Attribute of Scale Factor, which augments the tesselation.
Below Fit Mode are three options: Play, Pause, and Stop. Play starts the Lottie in the Scene2D, Pause halts it at the frame it is currently on, and Stop halts it and resets it to the beginning.

The Stroke Attributes consist of different items called Elements. Each Element contains a Type. This can be either Solid or Image and changes some of the available Attributes under this category. There are also two fixed Attributes outside of the Elements. These are:
Width, which is how wide (in pixels) each Stroke will appear. This applies to each Stroke Element.
Position, which determines what part of the outline identifies the outside of the Object. For example, if Inner is selected, then the outside of the Stroke is the outside of the Object. If Center is selected, then the Stroke's center is the outside of the Object. If Outer is selected, then the inside of the Stroke is the outside of the Object.
When Solid is selected, Color is visible.
Color is a color selector that lets the user pick the Stroke's color.
Similar to the base property described previously, Blend Mode here affects the Stroke Elements only. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. It can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.
Opacity refers to how opaque or transparent the Stroke appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
Please note that when a new Stroke is added, it is added to the top of the fill list and the Object will be updated to display this Stroke.
When Gradient is selected, Gradient is visible.
Gradient decides the style of gradient, which can be either Linear, Radial, Angular, or Diamond.
The Gradient color selector has a row of squares going left to right as well as a column going top to bottom. These correspond 1:1 with each other, so in the image above the mustard yellow squares are the same color. The user can drag the squares in the row to change the order of the gradient's colors.

The Effects Attribute consists of different items called Elements. Each Element contains a Type. These are Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Layer Blur, and Background Blur. The available Attributes are described below:
There are two shadow Types. Drop Shadow adds a shadow behind the Object. Inner Shadow adds a shadow within the Object.
Offset sets the location of the shadow in relation to the Object.
Blur modifies the softness of the shadow. When there is no blur, the shadow appears completely solid with rigid lines. When blur is applied, the shadow becomes transfused.
Spread inflates or deflates the shadowshape on which the blur is applied.
Color changes the color of the shadow.
Blend Mode affects the Effects Elements only. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. It can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.
There are two blur Types. Layer Blur blurs the Object itself and Background Blur applies a blur to whatever is directly behind the Object. This latter blur type is better seen when the Object's opacity or Fill opacity has been reduced.
Blur increases the severity of the blur effect.
A Mask is an Object that shows a certain area of another Object while concealing the rest. Any Object (e.g., an Ellipse, Rectangle, Frame, Group, or Text) can be used as a Mask.
For easier visualization, think of the Mask as a cookie cutter while the masked Object is the dough: the cookie cutter shows only a part and discards the rest.
The Type Attribute has three options:
None - nothing is applied.
Alpha - the Mask has an opacity level (alpha channel) determining with which level of opacity (or transparency) the masked Object is revealed: 0% opacity reveals nothing, 100% opacity is equivalent to a Mask with Vector type.
Vector - only modifies the shape outline of the masked Object
Luminance - allows the user to utilize brightness to determine the effect of the Mask; the brighter the area of a Mask, the more that is revealed and the darker the area, the less that is revealed.
Object allows the user to select what should be the masked Object.
Apply Mask is a toggle that applies the Mask when set to on, and disables the Mask when set to off.
This Attribute manages the tags for the Button. See more on tags here.
