##### 3.1.5.2 `TikZ/PGF` options

`TikZ/PGF` options are handled much as for `PSTricks`. Though `TikZ/PGF` often allows colors and styles to be given without corresponding keys, for example,

      \draw[red,ultra thick](0,0)--(1,1);

this is not permitted in `sketch`. To draw a red, ultra-thick line in `sketch`, the form is

      line[draw=red,style=ultra thick](0,0)(1,1)

Just as for `PSTricks`, when a `polygon` has options for both its face and its edges, and the polygon is split by the hidden surface algorithm, `sketch` must copy the edge options to `psline`s for the edge segments and the face options to `pspolygon`s. `TikZ/PGF` options known to `sketch` for purposes of this splitting operation include `arrows`, `cap`, `color`, `dash pattern`, `dash phase`, `double`, `double distance`, `draw`, `draw opacity`, `fill`, `fill opacity`, `join`, `line width`, `miter limit`, `pattern`, `pattern color`, and `style`.

The `style` option can contain both face and edge information, so `sketch` must check the style value. Values known to `sketch` include `dashed`, `densely dashed`, `densely dotted`, `dotted`, `double`, `loosely dashed`, `loosely dotted`, `nearly opaque`, `nearly transparent`, `semithick`, `semitransparent`, `solid`, `thick`, `thin`, `transparent`, `ultra nearly transparent`, `ultra thick`, `ultra thin`, `very nearly transparent`, `very thick`, and `very thin`.
