2 pixil wide lines?

Hi folks. Heres a stupid question. how do you draw a line an even number of pixils wide ?
There used to be an easy size changer, now theres just scale. I can only get sizes 1,3,5,7 etc.

I suppose if i could change the pencil shape to square it would work but i cant see how to do that.

AFAIK you can not get 2, 4, ...px with a parametric brush.

1. Make a 2x2 px grayscale .gbr brush. Grayscale so it will pick up the foreground colour. see screenshot:

2. As you said, use the pencil tool to avoid anti-aliasing.

3. Select the brush, set the size and colour. see screenshot

4. There are snags if using shift-click to draw straight lines. The origin and end of a line is center of pixel, which of course for an even number of pixels is off-center of the brush. In that case make a path, stroke the path with anti-aliasing turned off.

Friends,

I'm confused when Hanbaal writes:

To reduce my confusion, perhaps you could advise what version of GIMP you are using, and exactly how you are trying to create your line.
