# Line

Learn about the Line control in ActiveReportsJS. Visit the topic to learn how you can set the layout and appearance properties for a line.

## Content

A `Line` is used to draw vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines in a report layout.

### Adding a Line
To include a `Line` in your report, you can either double-click the corresponding item within the [toolbox](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Designer-Interface#toolbox), or drag and drop it into a report page area or another container, such as a [Banded List Section](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Data-Regions/BandedList).

### General Line Configuration
The general configuration includes [Base Report Item properties](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#base-properties), and [Visibility](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#visibility).

### Layout
The `Start Point X`, `Start Point Y`, `End Point X`, and `End Point Y` properties determine the start and end points of a line, in [Length units](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#length).

### Appearance
The [Line properties](/activereportsjs/docs/v6.1/ReportAuthorGuide/Report-Items/Common-Properties#line-properties) define the color, width, and the style of a line.
