`FrameStyle`

✖

is an option for Graphics, Grid, and other constructs that specifies the style in which to draw frames.

Details

FrameStyle->style specifies that all edges of the frame are to be generated with the specified style or graphics directive.
FrameStyle->{{left,right},{bottom,top}} specifies that different sides of a graphics frame should be drawn with different styles.
Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red, Dashed as well as Thickness, Dashing, and combinations given by Directive.
The default style of frames is normally specified by the option DefaultFrameStyle.
