			LinearDraw - The simple/lite version 


About this app : 
This app is designed to help users draw an object/shape like a line or circle or rectangle etc in MS-Paint. 


Why do I require an app to draw these shapes, when I can easily draw it manually? 
When drawing an object, the precision of the object matters. Many a time we struggle hard to continue from one point to another without the flow looking bloated. Making a good circle with the oval shape is a bit hard, even if we follow the grid-line values. 

When we draw one object of same dimension many a times, it becomes hard to re-draw manually as dimensions slightly mis-match. One solution is to make an object (shape) and copy and paste it. But pasting an object into an already drawn or existing drawing, deletes a lot of the already drawn parts (from the blank area that accompanies the copied figure). Then, only option is to re-draw. 
Drawing parallel lines, concentric circles is cumbersome and eye-straining, not to mention the pain on hand holding the mouse to pin-point at many locations to make it look continuous. 
When a big drawing is completed, but needs a minor change, we need to manually re-draw the whole thing, when deletion of that sub-part is not possible. 
Repeat the drawing with different colors, thickness etc. 


This app can take few arguments like starting point and stopping point in pixel values and does the drawing for you. 


Intended audience ; 

Anyone who needs to draw a lot in MS-Paint app.

All of above that can be done with simple version, can be done with the full version. 
It can even log each of the drawing into a script file, so that you can re-draw it later using the app. 
Modifying the script (just a plain, easy to understand text file), you can alter, parts of the drawing.

Differences between lite (simple) version and full version : 

Both are free to use. Main difference is that full version is a bigger utility considered to the simple version. 
But if you feel confused with many options in the full version, get the feel of drawing with the simple version and then try the full version. 

Some differences between (advantages of the full version over simple version) the versions : 

Auto-Click on any tool (most tools of MS-Paint's Toolbar are included as built-in). 
User can add non-built-in tools and use it or store into an INI file even for later use. 
Log each of the drawing into a script file, so that you can re-draw it later using the app. 
Run a script file to do the drawing.  
Stop drawing, Pause/Stop Script etc. 
Use Read-Pixel to read the pixel values. 
Re-attach app with another app (mainly for another instance of MS-Paint). 
Configure Min-Max XY pixels values. 
Hot keys to read/draw. 
Auto boundary calculation.  
Command-Line options to : 
	read/ignore INI file (INI file reading takes a little more extra time and overhead) 
	start MS-Paint or not 
	attach a log file to write logs 
	attach a script file to run. 

Both of these versions are meant to be portable versions and avoid reading/writing into registry. 
This is the reason settings are meant to be stored in an INI file.
