Line tool

[Ten rozdział nie został jeszcze przetłumaczony.]

Use this tool to create a line frame. iCalamus offers three line tools and a variety of pre-defined line types, like simple lines, multiple lines, arc lines and crosses.

Choose the desired line type in the Line tool by clicking on the Line tool symbol in the tool palette. Keep the mouse button pressed until the Line tools menu appears where you can choose the line type. Now create a new frame in the document by dragging the mouse. If you press [Esc] before you release the mouse button, the currently shown line will be deleted immediately.

Linia

Use this tool if you want to draw simple lines very fast. When you release the mouse button, a line frame is created which can be edited like all other frames. If you press [Esc] before you release the mouse button, the currently shown line will be deleted immediately.
Końcówkę: Press [Shift] in order to create straight lines with 0, 45 or 90 degrees (etc.) automatically.

Wielolinia

Using this tool, you can draw multiple straight lines at once. Click to positions which should be connected by lines. If you press the mouse button while dragging to the next point, the result will not be made of straight lines but of curves. A double click ends the current polyline.

Łapka

Draw absolutely free lines with the Freehand Shape tool. Just draw with the mouse cursor as you like it. As soon as you release the mouse button, your drawn path will be vectorized and rounded.

Simple Line Types

The line types in the next group are pre-defines lines which can be drawn by choosing the relevant line type and creating a frame: Ukośny krzyż, Krzyż, Linia narożnika, Trzy boki prostokąta.

Dynamic Line Types

The last group of line types in the list offers dynamic line types. After you have created the relevant line frame, you can change parameters for the relevant line type in the Content inspector, e.g. the number of Multiple lines (How about Music Score lines?) or the angle of an Arc line.
