I know we are able to draw rotated text and a rotated box to a specific angle, but I have need to draw a line at a specific angle, ideally after getting the angle of a previously drawn line.

Something along the lines of DrawRotatedLine(Xpos,YPos,Angle,Length) and GetLineAngle(Xpos1,Ypos1,Xpos2,Ypos2) ?

Is this possible?

Problem solved but rather than just delete the post I thought I'd share the solution in case anyone else needs this.

I just used trig in my code to find the angle of the plotted line, then drew a rotated box at that angle, with the height of the box at 0.5, drawoptions set to fill only.

This gave me the result I needed.
