Drawing and editing vector objects 579

When you close a contour, Corel PaintShop Pro draws a

segment from the contour’s start node to its end node.

Editing contours and paths

You can edit the contours and paths of vector objects. You can join

contours by connecting their end points. You can also reverse the

direction of paths and contours. The direction of a contour flows from

the start node to the end node. When you place the cursor over the

start node, a “START” message appears next to the cursor. When you

place the cursor over the end node, an “END” message appears. If the

object has a closed path, a “CLOSE” message appears.

You can duplicate contours.

For more information about the different types of nodes, see

“Modifying lines and curves” on page 589.
