Sorry I looked everywhere. Is there a way to animate a stroke or make a line grow in animation?

Hello,

Animating a line grow only works with the frame by frame approach. You cannot record an animation of a line grow within Tagtool.

Paint each stroke on a separate layer and record a transparency animation on all of them - then select all layers and offset start and endpoint. When you hit the right timing it looks like frame by frame animation.
