To edit a node:
1. Select it with the Node Edit Tool.
2. Drag its control handle(s) to fine-tune the curve.
Sharp Corner means that the segments either
side of the node are completely independent so that
the corner can be quite pointed.
Smooth Corner means that the slope of the
outline is the same on both sides of the node, but the
depth of the two joined segments can be different.
Symmetric Corner nodes join outline segments
with the same slope and depth on both sides of the
node.
You can also use the Context toolbar to define a line segment as either straight or
curved.
To add a node, double-click on a line segment. To remove a selected node, press
the Delete key.
Use the Straighten Line button to make an outline segment
straight.
