Manipulating Points of a Shape

You can change the contour of a shape by adding, moving, or deleting its points. First

you need to make the shape editable, as described in “Making Shapes Editable” on

page 165.

Here are ways to manipulate a shape’s points:

m To add a point, make the shape editable, press the Option key, and hold the pointer

over the shape’s border. The pointer changes into a pen tip with a plus sign (+). Click

the location on the border where you want to add a point, and move the point if

needed.

m To move a point, make the shape editable, click the point, and then drag it to another

location. You can move several points at the same time by Shift-clicking multiple points

and then dragging.

m To delete a point, make the shape editable, click the point, and then press the Delete

key. You can delete several points at the same time by Shift-clicking multiple points

and then pressing Delete.

Reshaping a Curve

You can expand or contract a curve, or change its angle.

To reshape a curve:

1 Make the shape editable.

2 Click a red circular control on the curve you want to reshape. A control handle appears

on both sides of the circular control.

Click a point and drag it

to change the shape.

Drag a control handle

or rotate one or both

control handles to

change the curve.

You can also drag a point

to modify the curve.
