Hi Joseph,
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're after, but it sounds like
you need to use the "Pencil" tool from the toolbar.
This started life as a standalone macro (2003?) but is now included
(along with brush, eraser, spray and flood-fill) in the StartUpMacros.
This should be included in new installations but old installtions can be
updated by downloading this:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/StartupMacros.txtto "imagej/macros" folder.
Double clicking the toolbar button allows you to change the "width" for
these tools.
Regards,
Tony
