Drawing and editing lines
PagePlus provides Pencil, Straight Line, Pen, and QuickShape tools for
creating simple graphics.
Using the line tools, you can draw single lines, connect line segments together,
or join line ends to close the line, creating a shape (see Drawing and editing
shapes on p. 190 for details). Use the Pointer Tool and the Curve context toolbar
to resize or reshape lines once you've drawn them. The context toolbar appears
automatically when you select a line or closed shape, and provides a variety of
adjustment controls—including adding/deleting nodes and manipulation of
curves.
The Pencil Tool lets you sketch curved lines and shapes in a freeform
way.
The Straight Line Tool is for drawing straight lines (for example, drawn
in the column gutter to separate columns); rules at the top and/or bottom of
the page; or horizontal lines to separate sections or highlight headlines.
The Pen Tool lets you join a series of line segments (whic
h may be curved
or straight) using "connect the dots" mouse clicks.
