Thanks. Caroline Do you mean a sort of drawing such as layout of a bathroom, or a manufacturing drawing of a double gate for welding? If so, then I can happily report that Open Office Draw is suitable and fairly simple. With the gate - overall size is about 2 meters square of welded iron bar and tube, I was able to create a scale drawing at about 1/16 size (for a4 printed page) and also extract dimensions to less than a millimeter. It is being manufactured now. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648
*No Alan, actually it is more 'artistic' type drawing-I am attaching an example to you- done in Open Office Draw-you will see the limitations! But could I use this programme with a stylus, I wonder?* *Caroline
Hi CarolineI think you can certainly use freehand line draw with a mouse as pointing device, although my need was for controlled and dimensioned straight lines.
see Curves, Freeform It is worth looking at I would say. (example attached) It is a lot simpler than Gimp! -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648
