Polyline Stroke: This provides the ability to create and manipulate a stroke in the same
way that a Bézier path or polygon mask might be created. To add a Polyline Stroke,
select the Polyline button and click in the viewer to add the first point. Continue clicking
to add additional points to the polyline. This click append style is the default, but
polyline strokes can also be created in draw append mode. Polylines can be tracked or
connected to existing polylines like masks or animation paths. The Polyline Stroke has
a default duration of the entire global range. However, you can edit its duration at any
time in the Keyframes Editor.
Circle: Creates a circular shape with animatable control over radius and center. The
Circle type has a duration of the entire global range. However, you can edit its duration
at any time in the Keyframes Editor.
Rectangle: Creates a rectangular area. The Rectangle type has a duration of the entire
global range. However, you can edit its duration at anytime in the Keyframes Editor.
Copy Polyline: Allows you to create a closed Polyline area with animatable offset to
clone elements from one area or image to the other. The Copy Polyline type has a
duration of the entire global range. However, you can edit its duration at any time in the
Keyframes Editor.
Copy Circle/Rectangle: A circular or rectangular shape area with animatable offset to
clone elements from one image to the other. The Copy Circle/Rectangle type has a
duration of the entire global range. However, you can edit its duration at any time in the
Keyframes Editor.
Fill: Similar to the Wand mask tool. This tool fills similarly colored adjacent pixels with
a fill color based on the selected color channel. The tool has a duration of the entire
global range. However, you can edit its duration at any time in the Keyframes Editor
Paint Group: Allows you to group multiple paint strokes with full control over center and
size. Since Multistroke and Clone Multistroke styles cannot be tracked, grouping these
paint stroke types and tracking the paint group is one common use of groups.

options. The paint strokes that include this second toolbar are Polyline Stroke and Copy
