--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Sounds like bug 90045 asking for brush tool. It would be kind of
post-processing of lines similar to the lately introduced effects.

First problem is to save/export and load/import in other applications. You need
a specification at the file format.

If this all is about kind of a true line style (the term is used for the
appearance ie. dotted, dashed, solid etc.), see bug 132568 and bug 136224 in
this case - the same applies for the file format. But function-wise it just
combines all available attributes and allows to set it at once.

Please keep in mind that we have drawing styles in Draw/Impress where you can
define the line attributes right now. Would be nice to have it in Writer and
Calc too, see bug 89369. This would be my preferred solution if I don't
misunderstand your proposal.

What I always dislike on MSO's features is the missing use case. Just to
present a bunch of predefined colors with varying width would be totally
boring. We strive for freedom and a few options but full ease to configure,
store, share etc. See [1] how it should work.

You questions address all developers. Pasting it here (it's annoying to
download and open a document when text can easily be read here):

So what are some things that would need to be known in order to start
developing?

 • How to add new toolbar in LibreOffice by default
   ◦ How to dynamically add/remove buttons to toolbars
   ◦ Way to make icon color match the user’s settings (similar to highlighter
or font color button)
   ◦ Way to read/write to user settings so that LibreOffice knows what kinds of
pens to populate in the toolbar
   ◦ Add context menu with Delete or Edit buttons when triangle is selected
next to icon

 • How to include mini Pen Settings UI and make it save the data to user
settings
 • Make each respective pen button automatically apply the styles and invoke
the freeform or straight line function
