like making a striaght line.
Say I have a seiries or curved and/or straight lines. Would you like to \_\_\_\_\_ those lines?
Would you like to straighten those lines?
Orw ould you like to \_\_\_\_\_\_ those lines?
I guess bend is pretty close, though that seems to imply one way instead of curving along their natural path. Eh, I dont know.,
