absolute horizontal scale fixed r/w The horizontal scale of the graphic line relative to its containing object.
absolute rotation angle fixed r/w The rotation angle of the graphic line relative to its containing object. (Range: -360 to 360)
absolute shear angle fixed r/w The skewing angle of the graphic line relative to its containing object. (Range: -360 to 360)

how I can read the strokeColor from a graphic Line in a variable
var x = app.activeDocument.graphicLines[n].strokeColor(); is not working
