Horizontal lines

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:23:20 GMT

Hi All,

Has anyone else noticed that Horizontal lines with 1-2pt aren't actually straight! How do I make it straight! They are bowed by a few pixels in the middle making them more of a curve.

Cheers,

GPC

I've just plotted a line of 1 or 2 pt and it is perfectly straight .... maybe it is a problem with your resolution?

I've had this problem since first using QV with v7.5 and used to get round it by using a textbox and setting height to 1 or 2 as required (via Caption > Normal), but looks like sometime since then this setting now has a min of 5.

The line does straighten out if you make the box height very big, in my experience, but it's messy.

EDIT: Have just noticed that the line only 'bends' when you drag the box size so the height is an odd value - it looks straight when set to an even value. Maybe a bug in the code somewhere.
