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 remaining examples of this manual are in PSTricks style.
