• Smooth Segments: draws Bézier curves smoothly segment-by-
segment, with manual on-curve and off-curve adjustment via
nodes and control handles, respectively.
• Smart Segments (default): automatically determines slope and
depth for a rounded, best-fitting curve. No control handle
adjustment is normally necessary.
• Line Segments: creates a zig-zag line without curving through
nodes.
