Figure 68: Splitting curves
Closing curves
1) Select an open and existing curve (Figure 69).
Figure 69: Closing curves
2) Select a point of the curve. Note that the start point of a curve is larger than the other points
visible on the curve.
3) Click on the Close Bézier icon to close the curve. If the open curve was originally a
closed and filled curve, then the original color will fill the curve when it is closed.
Rotating and distorting curves
1) Select the curve, then click on the Rotate icon on the Line and filling toolbar or the
Mode toolbar. The points on the curve change color and shape (Figure 70).
2) Select one of the points on the curve and drag it to a new position to distort the curve.
Movement will be restricted to the original border of the curve.
3) Select one of the control points at the end of the tangent line and rotate the distorted curve
by dragging the cursor. The distorted curve will rotate about the center of rotation.
