Shape drawing closely mimics that of Garbage Mask and Remove Dust tools.
The types of objects that can be created are:
■ Splines, open or closed
■ Freehand shapes.
■ Rectangles
■ Ellipses
■ Points (just a spline with a single vertex)
Like the Garbage Mask, there is a list box with the named shapes and
individually editable parameters. The Warp UI also has all the components
of the Garbage Mask for transforming shapes, setting drawing options for
rectangles and ellipses and for loading and saving user settings—see

Mask Controls
on page 539.
Each shape has a parameter which controls the smoothing across its
boundaries, named Smoothing. For open shapes, this can have one of two
values: None or Bidirectional. The setting None means that each side of the
shape is smoothed independently and there can be discontinuities in the warp
across the shape. The setting of Bidirectional means that smoothing is applied
across the shape and there will be no discontinuity in this region. If the shape
is closed, then in addition to these two values, there are two other possible
values: Inside and Outside. A value of Outside means that the inside of the
shape is smoothed independently of the outside, but the outside is smoothed
to match the inside. A value of Inside is the opposite of this.
Smoothing = None
