two clic to make a line

hello

I wonder if somebody could make a simple script to create a line by two clics and make the pivot of the line to have its x axis aligned to the line.
Thanks.
(no ui, just run script, clic, clic, and voilà)

it's amazing

it's amazing (linepivot.mcr) working like a sharm .
Thank you "barigazy" , and the point now , how to change the local dir of an object pivot by two click , like in your script but without creating line (apply to selected object) .

What do you expect to do this

What do you expect to do this without matrix :)
Use my code and try to find the way how to build a simle tool.
I've already solved the hard part and I leave you a easy part.
You can look this example of very nice tool by OYH

Are you writte this? :)

It's better if you use UI (not Macroscript) because you have different axis options and center pivot position.
Why don't you create two verisons (ms and mcr) and post it like finished tool.

did not understand what

did not understand what you're willing, when you create the line gives you the first click and then the second and the line is already created with the central pivot axis X. better explains what you need ...

Hello. I need a tool to make

Hello. I need a tool to make a line with the pivot direction going through the two clicked vertexes.
So, for geometric constuctions, it is easy in local mode to extend or shorten these so created lines.

I have already small script

I have already small script that sets the selection axis parallel to the line direction. But titane357 want tool to be able to create this line. I don't have time right now to finish "tool" part. If you want you can writte the rest of script.
