Drawing & editing straight lines
Simply click and drag on the page to draw a straight line. You can click on any existing line to select it,
and once selected you can click-drag on either end to move the end of the line around.
Adding arrowheads & tails
The infobar has two dropdown lists on the left which allow you to choose an arrow head or tail style for
each end of the selected line.
Arrow head
Arrow tail
Arrow head/tail size
Reverse path
The slider on the infobar allows you to change the size of the arrow head and tail on the current selected
line. Or you can enter a percentage value into the size text field to the right of the slider.
Enter a value less than 100% to reduce the size of the arrowhead (and tail), or greater than 100% to
increase. Although the slider only takes the size value up to a maximum of 800%, you can enter
percentage values larger than this into the size text field.
Reverse path
Press the Reverse path
button on the infobar to switch around the head and tail of the selected
line.
Adding more line segments
Lines created with the Straight Line Tool are of course fully compatible with the other drawing tools.
So if you want to add more segments to a line, make it curved, or perhaps even turn it into a closed
shape, use the Shape Editor Tool
.
