    It seems like the calligraphy tool can only create shapes that look like strokes. Is there a setting to make the calligraphy tool create single-lined paths that resemble the shapes that it seems to create by default?  Thanks.

    The calligraphy tool creates closed paths, based on the controls above the top ruler.

    Single line objects that the pencil tool (and Bezier tool) creates can have a "power stroke" applied that offers variation in thickness based on the controls' dropdown menu.
