Straight Lines

I've recently had to start using Gimp to create my clothing designs since I'm vacationing and don't have PSP on this computer. I've found that gimp has similiar tools to those I'm use to working with, however, in PSP there was a tool which assisted me in drawing a straight line and I can't find one in gimp. Does it even have one? Please say it does. lol

Hold the <shift> key down while using one of the tools. Click and drag out a start and end point and release. This should produce a straight line.

I don't use the Gimp, so this probably a very simple and incomplete explanation, but it was what I intuitively learned after messing with it for about 10 seconds.

thnx nams...it worked for me! : )

If you like working that way, you can do the same thing in PS when you get back home, Rayen. Or, in PS, you can click a point, hold down the Shift key, and click another, and the two will be connected by a straight line.

You might try that in the GIMP, too, just to see if it works the same way.
