Adding lines and shapes 149
Drawing lines and shapes
Lines can be either straight or curved. They have properties like colour and
weight (thickness). When a line (or series of line segments) forms a complete,
enclosed outline, it becomes a new closed item called a shape. Because shapes
can be filled with a solid or gradient fill, they have fill properties as well as line
properties.
As soon as you draw a line you'll see the line's points appear. The line between
any two points is called a line segment. Freeform and curved lines usually have
many points; straight lines have only two.
Freeform Line
(Pencil Tool)
Curved Line
(Pen Tool)
Closed Line (Shape)
(Pen Tool)
Drawing freeform lines
1. Choose the Pencil Tool from the Standard toolbar.
2. Click once, then drag across the page, drawing a line as you go. The
line appears immediately and follows your mouse movements.
3. To end the line, release the mouse button. The line will automatically
smooth out using a minimal number of points. Note the dots
indicating its points—at the two ends, and at each point where two
line segments come together.
