2. Click on the line, and a new node appears.
3. Keep the mouse button down and drag to draw a new line section,
connecting it back to another point on the original line. Again, the
cursor changes to include a curve when you’re close enough to the line
to make a connection. When you release the mouse button, the
original portion is replaced by the newly drawn portion.
Reshaping a line
The main tool for editing lines and shapes is the Node Tool. In general, you first
use the Node Tool to select one or more nodes on the object, then use the
buttons on the tool's supporting context toolbar.
To reshape a curved line:
1. Click the Node Tool on the Drawing toolbar.
2. Select any line on your page. The line’s on-curve nodes appear, and the
context toolbar also pops up.
3. Hover over a segment and drag the segment to form a new curve
shape.
