Line tool - Shift click angle change

[Rettro]

Hey yall, I got this program basically because I am most comfortable working in MSPaint, but I need layers for some of the stuff I do. I've tweaked most of the tools to work the same way they do in MS Paint, but the line tool is giving me trouble. You see, in MS Paint, the line tool will create a line with a repeating pattern from pixel a to pixel b, no matter the angle. In Paint.NET, it creates a line with an extremely accurate angle (resulting in a strange pattern) from point a to point b, with points being somewhere inside a pixel. If you are zoomed in, you can get a line that goes from pixel a to pixel b to look several different ways. I did notice that the shift-click lines, that automatically snap to 15* increments, are much less suceptable to this. Unfortunitely the angle I usually work in is 22.5*.

So, is there a way to change the snap angle, or is there a way to make lines easily consistent even when creating them zoomed in?

Im not sure if this is what you mean, but you could try turning antialiasing off, which is the little :AntiAliasingOff: icon nect to where it says solid fill

Hope that helps

hippotipus - that's not what he's asking at all.

Rettro - Your best bet would probably be to draw a line on a new layer and rotate it using Layers > Rotate/Zoom (Ctrl+Shift+Z) to 22.5 degs.
