The Line shape component can be used to display a straight line any where in a report. It can run north-south, east-west, or diagonally. Select the Line shape on the Report Component Palette to make it active, and click and drag to draw a Line any where in your Report Designer. Hold shift while dragging to force the angle of the line to a 45 or 90 degree angle. You can change the stroke style, color, width, pattern, and more.
