The Line Drawing Tool

The line drawing tool is used to draw lines on the image.

Before using the line drawing tool, select the width of the line that you want to draw using the Line Width Selector and select the color of the line using the Color Picker.

To draw a line, move the mouse to the starting point of the line you want to draw and press the left mouse button. While still holding down the button, drag the mouse to the other end of the line and release the button. You can constrain the mouse movements to the horizontal or vertical directions by holding down the Shift key while you are dragging the mouse.

Double clicking on the line with the Object Selection Tool will bring up the Properties dialog which will left you specify how the ends of the line appear. See The Overlay Properties Command for more information.
