Graphic Objects - Lines


To draw objects such as lines, circles and rectangles, you select a tool from the toolbar, click and hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse over the form to size the object.

Lines


FoD-OMR provides three tools for drawing lines:

Draw a horizontal line

Draw a vertical line

Draw a diagonal line

When drawing or moving a diagonal line:

  • Hold the CTRL key down whilst using the mouse to move the end point of the diagonal line. This will round the angle of the line to an increment of 15 degrees.
  • Hold the SHIFT key down whilst using the mouse to move the endpoint of the diagonal line. This will round the angle of the line to an increment of 5 degrees.

To edit the line properties, click on the line to select it and then choose Properties from the Edit menu. Alternatively, double click on the appropriate line.

On the Format tab, you can edit the lines Pattern, Width, Color and End Cap.

There are three End Cap options:

  • Round
  • Square
  • No End Cap
