How to modify the advanced properties of a graphic?

Advanced properties of a graphic include additional properties beyond the basic properties.

When you click on a shape, all its properties (both basic and advanced) will be displayed in the "Graph Line", "Content Fill" and "Basic Transformation" panels in the sidebar.

If you want to change the advanced properties of the graphic border, please click the "Graphic Line" panel in the expanded sidebar to set it.
