Bezier Tool
The Bezier Tool is especially convenient for drawing shapes that consist primarily
of linear paths, although it can be used to create curved paths as well.
To draw a path with the Bezier tool:
1. Click the Path Tools and select a drawing tool.
2. From the Freeform Shape menu on the Attribute Toolbar, click Bezier.
3. To draw a straight segment, click at the point where you want to start the line.
A node appears. Move the cursor to the point at which you want your line to
end, and click again to complete the segment.
4. To draw a curve segment, click at the point where you want the curve to start
and then drag in one direction. Then click at the endpoint of the curve segment
and drag in the opposite direction. (See illustration below.)
To draw an S-curve segment, click and drag your mouse in the same directions
at the start point and end point of the segment. (See illustration below.)
5. Continue clicking and moving the cursor around until you have created the
desired shape.
6. Double-click to complete the path.
Note: Right-click at any time to cancel drawing.
