When would you want to select lines?
You would select one or more lines prior to operating on them by means of a tool, or a menu choice.
In this way you can
- add two or more lines to produce a new line
- subtract one line from another (the order in which you select lines matters)
- delete a line (or more)
- merge lines
- plot the chart of a block of lines against the first line (as x-axis)
- operate more generally on one or more lines.
