Re: Drawing a straight line

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Scott,
The reason it's 'skipping pixels' is that you've got a grid preference 
setting other than 1. Check your prefs.

Re: Drawing a straight line

[Martin Baxter]

It sounds like the objects could be snapping to the grid setting. There is
a Grid Spacing (Pixels) preference (under appearance preferences in my
version of RR) which affects this IIRC. Mine is set to 1, and I vaguely
remember setting it to that myself in order to ocercome the annoyance you
describe.

Which line/rectangle tools are you using?  There are two of them: one 
for image objects (bitmaps; below the divider line), and those for 
graphic objects (vector shapes; above the divider line).

RE: Drawing a straight line

i know this will sound silly but you should know you can use a ruler
to draw the line straight with your mouse...  

If you dont have a ruler, use the keyboard or your head! ;)

Re: Drawing a straight line

[Scott Slaugh]

I can't use the line tool (or rectangle tool for that matter) because they 
both seem to almost skip pixels. I'll try to drag a rectangle or draw a line 
over an area, and I can end the drawing either one pixel from the edge or 
one pixel over the edge.
