                 Key: UDIG-1208
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1208
             Project: uDIG
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: tool edit
    Affects Versions: UDIG 1.1.RC9
            Reporter: Jesse Eichar
         Assigned To: Jesse Eichar
             Fix For: UDIG 1.2


Adrian spoke about being able to draw vertical/horizontal lines while creating 
a geometry. I think the topic goes beyond to the point that, while editing 
geometries, it is necessary to combine different techniques, thus the 
selection of a feature creation/modification tool should set a "mode", in 
order that other context sensitive "modifiers" can be used.
Examples:
	- being editing a line and set an "ortho" mode which only allows horizontal 
and vertical lines, or even enabling the drawing of line segments orthogonal 
to another one from another feature.
	- being editing a line and set the edition mode temporarily parallell to 
another, existing one.
        - while adding vertices to a line, draw an arc and then continue 
adding straight segments.

of course there are much more possible examples. AutoCAD is the most feature 
rich app I know on this regard.
