Actually, that might be 3, since the points in the rect are inclusive (99 to 101 = 3)? Walt

If you look at the inspector palette after selecting a simple horizontal line, you'll see the 'points' property is something like: ## 50,100 300,100 ## Now switch to the 'Size & Position' panel. You'll see that the 'rectangle' of the graphic actually fits around the line: ## 49,99,301,101 ## Thus the 'minimum' height of the graphic is (101-99) = 2. My preferred methd of updating a line graphic is setting the 'points' property, and letting the engine update the 'rectangle' acordingly.
