   It kind of looks like something you would draw a straight line with.   
   The vertical edge is longer so that would go against the edge of a board   
   or something and the horizontal edge sits up higher at the level of the   
   item being drawn on.  The roller appears to be the same height as the   
   horizontal edge so that makes it easier to drag.  The rectangular cutout   
   on the horizontal edge is where you put the marker as you're dragging it.
