Rebels Rule

Why use it

• Works with any brushPressure, tilt, rotation and texture work as usual. A ruled line looks like every other stroke in the painting.
• Nothing to set up or clean awayNo assistant to place, snap or delete afterwards. One tap sets the anchor, the next tap moves it.
• Many lines from one pointThe anchor stays put, so you can paint speed lines, rays or perspective lines that all meet at one spot.
• Stays out of the wayHold Ctrl, Shift, Alt or Space and Krita behaves as normal. Press Esc to clear the anchor, or turn the ruler off.

How it works

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+R or choose Tools ▸ Scripts ▸ Rebels Rule to turn the ruler on.
2. Tap the canvas to set an anchor.
3. Move the pointer away and paint toward the anchor. The stroke stays on the straight line between where you started and the anchor.

2. Quit Krita.
