Shapes
Shapes are vector-based objects that you can draw, modify, and fill. They can be open
shapes, such as lines and curves, or closed shapes, such as circles and squares. You can
create and edit shapes with the precision of a drawing program and integrate them
with the Natural-Media environment in Corel Painter.
