Question
Hi, please tell how to deal with black lines around rectangle or stars, polygons.
When I draw a rectangle and fill with color, I see tiny black line between star or
rectangle and surrounding area. The same is when I draw a rainbow. I would like
that it will be just different colors, no black lines because I did not add them.
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Astra,

I'm assuming you are not referring to a stroke color around your shapes, so my next guess is the path creating your shape is what you are seeing.

If you are seeing a thin outline around everything, it could be your bounding box or paths showing up. Go to View>Hide Bounding Box, Hide Edges to remove those.

These lines are not printable so if you see  them when you output, let me know as it could be something else.

Thanks
