60 Lines, Curves, and Shapes
To close a curve (without new segment):
• Select the curve with the Node Tool, and drag from an end node (note
the
Node cursor), moving the line, onto the other end node (a Close
cursor will show); releasing the mouse button will create a shape.
If you're trying to draw a cartoon outline made up of many independent curves
(e.g., a cartoon ear, rose, etc.) you may want to fill each curve without closing it.
This is made easy by using the Fill-on-Create feature.
To fill an unclosed curve automatically:
• Select the Pencil Tool, Pen Tool, or Paintbrush Tool.
• Enable from the context toolbar, and select a
suitable fill from the Colour tab. You'll also need to ensure Select-on-
Create is enabled on the context toolbar (Freehand and Paintbrush
tools only).
• Draw a freeform line, pen line, or brush stroke into a curve. The
resulting curve is closed automatically and filled with the current fill
colour.
