The Line Tool lets you easily create a straight line between two points.
Just click and hold down either mouse button at the desired starting point.
Then drag the mouse to the desired end point and release the button.
The left button paints in the foreground color & the right uses the background.
You can also use the Line Tool with custom brushes.
`Clicking the i con with the right button displays the Spacing requester.

The value you enter, sets the total number of brush segments in the line.
`Every enth dot, lets you set a deffinite spacing between the brush segments.
Every Nth dot, lets you set a definite spacing between the brush segments.
`This value sets the number of pikcels that will separate each brush segment.

Continuous, is the default mode used to create normal lines.
If you hold down the Shift key while drawing the line,
you can lock movement either horizontally or vertically.
The first direction you move in, establishes which movement is locked.
In other words if you start moving vertically while holding Shift,
you will not be able to move the line horizontally.
A horizontal line will be drawn if you start by moving left or right.
`Hold down the Control key to leave traces while you paint lines.
Hold down the CTRL key to leave "traces" while you paint lines.
