I want to draw a horizontal line. It doesn't need to be connected to other shape. It can be selected like the connection rather than the rectangle.
How can i do?

I would suggest to use a shape and a line as its graphics algorithm. Probably you will need to disable moving the shape or resizing via the feature provider.

HTH,

Not sure if I got your point, but you should be able to use a Rectangle (or a line) that has a vertical dimension of 0 (in case of a horizontal line).

Yes, i can use a rectangle shape. The behavior of adding a shape is to draw a rectangle. I wish to add the shape like add the connection. That is to say, I wish to set the source point and target point through mouse click.
