Selecting the Line or Rectangle Tool allows the designer to draw vector-based graphics in the workspace. By clicking on two points in the workspace, a line or box will be drawn. The scripting language, which defines that action, will display in the Graphic Path field. All Graphic Paths use relative coordinates so that it can be translated easier when doing complex operations like rotate. The following table describes the elements and functions of the line and rectangle tools.
