Line Shape
The Line shape connects two positions on the board, with endpoints driven by expressions or linked to other shapes.

Overview
A Line shape draws a segment between two coordinate pairs. Each endpoint can be bound to terms, allowing the line to stretch, rotate, and translate as the simulation progresses. Lines are useful for representing forces, distances, and connections between objects.
