I just wanted to make a small road map for a particular place to send to a friend and needed a simple editor to draw straight and diagonal lines. All major image (pixel) editors have line drawing features via a line tool. In GIMP it turns out to be a hidden function thats all.
do not use GIMP to draw road maps. It is like the guy who was using microsoft word to write C programs and wondering why they would not compile.
