The following example draws a line beginning at an X value of -2, a Y value
of 1, and an endpoint at 3,4. Enter the following in the tooltip:
Command: line
From point: #-2,1
To point: #3,4
The line is located as follows:
Relative coordinates are based on the last point entered. Use relative
coordinates when you know the location of a point in relation to the previous
point.
To specify relative coordinates, precede the coordinate values with an @ sign.
For example, entering @3,4 specifies a point 3 units along the X axis and 4
units along the Y axis from the last point specified.
The following example draws the sides of a triangle. The first side is a line
starting at the absolute coordinates -2,1 and ending at a point 5 units in the
X direction and 0 units in the Y direction. The second side is a line starting at
the endpoint of the first line and ending at a point 0 units in the X direction
and 3 units in the Y direction. The final line segment uses relative coordinates
to return to the starting point.
Command: line
From point: #-2,1
To point: @5,0
To point: @0,3
To point: @-5,-3
