The Line drawing tool draws a straight line. The following
examples show a red straight line drawn on an image. The second example
shows the toolbar and resize controls for the annotation.

The line annotation is
not available for images stored in an Image Services library.
To
draw a straight line:
- Click the Line drawing tool.
- Mark the beginning and ending points for the line, using
one of these methods:
- Click and hold the left mouse button down at the starting point,
then drag the mouse to the ending point while still holding the mouse
button down. Lift up the mouse button at the ending point.
- Click the left mouse button at the starting point for the line,
and immediately release the mouse button. Move the cursor to the ending
point, and then click the left mouse button once again.
To select a line after drawing it:
- Click the Select/edit tool on the annotation toolbar.
- Click on or near the line (within the bounding brackets). This
displays the toolbar you use to adjust the security, line thickness,
line color, or position.

the thickness of the line.
To change the line color:
- Click the Line Color button to open the Color Picker.
