These option sequences create a vertical line passing through a node. Move the cursor to the node and type
. Next, type . The actions sequence can be reversed.

This option sequence creates a line parallel to a selected line and passing through a node. Move the cursor to
the line and type . Next, move over the node and type .

This combination defines a line tangent to two circles. Move the cursor to the first one and type , then
move to the second and type again. Generally speaking, four distinct lines can be created in this
situation, all of which would be two-tangent to the circles.

Using these combinations creates a line tangent to a circle and passing through a node. Move the cursor to
the circle and type , then move over the node and type . Two distinct possibilities exist in this
situation. One can do selections in the reversed order as well.

Use of such options creates a line (or lines) symmetrical to another one with respect to the selected axis. The
symmetry axis is selected by typing the first key, . Then, one can create a single line or multiple lines
symmetrical with respect to the axis. A line to be mirrored is selected by typing . Note that after typing
key once, the symmetry axis first stays selected, ready for mirroring more lines.
