I am trying to extend the "Shapes" sample application by a simple
"line"-drawing tool and that's working out to be a lot lot more
complicated than I thought. None of the examples I can find provide "line"
tools (just "connectors", which is not the same; I just want to draw a
line, not connect anything). Does anyone know of a some sample-code on
drawing non-rectangular shapes like e.g. lines.

thx,
Lewis

As far as I know GEF is designed to handle edges between nodes.
So you could create a minimal invisible node at both ends of your edge.
You might also be able to write a special anchor that doesn't need a node.
