Line is a simple graphic object defined by two points.

To create a line

  1. In the Drawing toolbar, click the button Button Line Line.
  2. Point the mouse cursor to the position in the picture, where the line will begin and click.
  3. Point the cursor to the position, where the line will end and click.

To create horizontal, vertical lines or lines at an angle equal to multiple of 45°, hold down the Shift key when drawing.
Hold down the Ctrl key when drawing a line, the begin point of the next created line will be the same as the end point of the previous one.
