202 Adding lines, shapes, and stencils

Adjusting a shape

As described previously, you can easily turn a curve into a shape by

connecting its end points. You can go the other way, too—break open a

shape in order to add one or more line segments.

To break open a line or shape:

1. Select the item with the

Select tool.

2. Click the

Edit Points button displayed beneath the item.

3. Select the point on the closed curve where you want the break to

occur.

4. Click the

Break Curve button on the context toolbar so that the

line will separate. A shape will become a line, with the selected point

split into two points, one at each end of the new line.

5. You can now reposition the points and reshape the line by dragging on

the handles.

When you first break a curve the two points are in exactly the same location

and so the curve may still look as if it is connected. If you drag one of the red

point ends away you will quickly see the separation.

If the broken shape had a fill you can change the unwanted fill to be

transparent by using the Colour tab's Fill swatch.

Joining lines

You can connect any two straight or curved lines to form a new line.

To join two lines together:

1. Select both lines by Shift-clicking with the Select tool.
