Hold down the Shift key while drawing the line to restrict the angle of

the line to a multiple of 45 degrees (0, 45, 90, 135, and so on).

Hold down the Control key (Ctrl in PCs) to snap the end of the line to

the nearest grid point.

Note

The effect of the Ctrl key depends on the settings of the Snap to

Grid option on the View > Grid menu:

Snap to Grid on: Ctrl deactivates the snap option for this

activity.

Snap to Grid off: Ctrl activates the snap option for this activity.

The spacing (resolution) of the grid points can be adjusted under Tools

> Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > Grid. See also Chapter 8 (Tips

and Tricks) in the Draw Guide.

Hold down the Alt key to extend the line symmetrically outward from

the start point (the line extends to each side of the start point equally).

This lets you draw straight lines by starting from the middle of the line.

The line just drawn has all the default attributes, such as color and line

type. To change the line attributes, click on the line to select it and

then use the tools in the Line and Filling toolbar; or for more control,

right-click on the line and choose Line to open the Line dialog.

Drawing an arrow

Arrows are drawn like lines. Draw classifies arrows as a su/jointfilesconvert/41501/bgroup of

lines: Lines with arrowheads. They are shown in the information field

on the status bar only as lines. Click on the Line Ends with Arrow

icon to draw an arrow.

Drawing lines and arrows

Click on the small black triangle on the Lines and Arrows icon to

open a floating toolbar with ten tools for drawing lines and arrows

(Figure 170). Alternatively, you can click directly on the symbol to

repeat the last-used command chosen from this toolbar. In both cases,

the last-used command will be stored on the toolbar to make it quicker

to call it up again.
