Understanding How Drawing Tools Are Created

[BeachTrader11807]

Hi there!

I have been trying to understand how to create a custom drawing tool diving into the lines.cs and extenableline.cs files. I am still struggling to understand the nuts and bolts of this class.

If someone could point me to a stripped down line tool (or create an example for me) with just 2 anchor points and seriously a bare bones tool, this would help me and possibly other people to understand drawing tools.

Thanks in advance!
