2.2 Options

Many PSTricks and TikZ/PGF options work just fine in sketch. If generating PSTricks, the code

  polygon[fillcolor=lightgray,linewidth=3pt](0,0,1)(1,0,0)(0,1,0)
  line[linestyle=dotted](-1,-1,-1)(2,2,2)
produces

To produce TikZ/PGF, the corresponding code is

  polygon[fill=lightgray,line width=3pt](0,0,1)(1,0,0)(0,1,0)
  line[style=dotted](-1,-1,-1)(2,2,2)
  global { language tikz }
The final global instructs sketch to produce TikZ/PGF code as output rather than the default, PSTricks. Note that polygon fill color and line style options both conform to TikZ syntax rules. The resulting TikZ/PGF output is
  \begin{tikzpicture}[join=round]
  \draw[dotted](-1,-1)--(.333,.333);
  \filldraw[fill=lightgray,line width=3pt](0,0)--(1,0)--(0,1)--cycle;
  \draw[dotted](.333,.333)--(2,2);
  \end{tikzpicture}
The remaining examples of this manual are in PSTricks style.
