66 Lines, Curves, and Shapes
To change one or more nodes to a different type:
1. Select the object with the Node Tool, followed by the node(s) you
want to change.
2. Click one of the node buttons (described below) on the displayed
context toolbar.
A Sharp Corner means that the line segments to either
side of the node are completely independent so that the
corner can be quite pointed.
A Smooth Corner means that the slope of the line is the
same on both sides of the node, but the depth of the two
joined segments can be different.
At a Symmetric Corner, nodes join line segments with
the same slope and depth on both sides of the node.
Note: Normally, Custom segments you draw with the Pen
Tool end in a symmetric corner.
Smart Corner nodes automatically determine slope and
depth for a rounded, best-fitting curve. If you attempt to
adjust a smart corner's handles, it reverts to a symmetric
corner. You can always reset the node to smart—but to
maintain smart nodes, be careful what you click on!
You can also use the context toolbar to define a line segment as either straight or
curved.
