Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red, and Dashed, as well as Thickness, RGBColor, Dashing, and combinations given by Directive. Styles can also contain rules for options such as FontSize and FontFamily.
Style specifications can refer to styles using style names from current stylesheets.
