Curve Tools

The Leaf tool can be used to produce a simple leaf shape, but it can also be used to construct many other interesting shapes. Like the Petal tool, it’s basically two line segments that both share the same endpoints but are stretched out by their Bezier points so that they don’t overlap exactly and look like one segment. On construction you can use the Bezier point option button which looks like this: [Read More]

The Parabola tool allows you to create either an open or closed parabola in a few different ways. In an open parabola, the end points of the parabola are joined and the interior of the parabola is filled. For a closed parabola, the endpoints of the parabola are not connected and the interior is not filled. The second Option Button offers these construction methods: Vertical open Vertical closed Horizontal open Horizontal closed [Read More]

The Petal tool lets you create flower petal shapes. Like the Leaf tool, it’s basically two line segments that both share the same endpoints but are stretched out by their Bezier points so that they don’t overlap exactly and look like one segment. After construction, you can use the Move Vertex and Move Bezier Point tools on it to adjust its shape if you want. During construction, the mark button is used to define the axis of the Petal.
