### 3.18. Stroke Selection

The Stroke Selection… command strokes a selection in the image. There are two ways you can stroke the selection, either by using a paint tool or without using one. This means that the selection border, which is emphasized in the image with a dotted line, can be drawn with a stroke. There are various options which you can use to specify how this stroke should look.

| Note
This command is only active if the image has an active selection.
