Line

A straight segment: a rod, ray, pointer or axis.

How to add

Use the Line tool (key L): press at the start and drag to the end.

Properties

Ends
Drag them to change length and angle.
Colour and width
Set as the stroke.
Physics
A line can act as a fixed wall or an inclined plane.

Tips

  • For an inclined plane a long thin rectangle is easier: its angle is a number.
  • Double-click a line to edit its points.
