<div>Hi all,<br>
</div>
I've been trying to render a line in Gem, so I'm wondering
if it's best to use [curve] (which is actually a curve as it
indicates), or [rectangle] with a very small x value, so
that it looks like a line.<br>
</div>
My problem is that I want to give this line an angle, so I've
been using [shearXY] for now. I also want to make the line
grow from nothing to the full desired length, but with
[rectangle] it will grow from the middle, so in order to make
it grow from the starting point to the ending point, you have
to give [rectangle] a continuous x,y offset.<br>
This way it's really hard to determine the starting and ending
point of the line. So, If for example the x,y coordinates of
the starting and ending point are random, then the angle and
length will also be random and you'll have to manipulate three
different objects simultaneously ([rectangle], [translate] and
[shearXY]), and I'm not sure if I can find the formula for all
these calculations. <br>
</div>
Is there an easier technique for this?<br>
</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
If you need a segment starting from (Xa, Ya, Za) and ending to (Xb,
Yb, Zb), then use [curve 2] and set coordinates with two lists of
three elements.<br>
With this solution, you needn't [rotateXYZ] or [shearXY] objects and
can make your segment growing from nothing to the desired length.<br>
Have a look at [curve] object.<br>
