An outline is like a border but it is drawn within the extent of the object. It is intended to be drawn and then removed and is useful for those times when you want to border something without the border taking up any space. Its width is measured inwards from the outer edge of an object.
This property is a means of defining the following style properties with a single assignment:
style.outlineColor
style.outlineStyle
style.outlineWidth
Because the namespaces do not collide, they can be specified in any order.
