=== Point - On Curve (Shortcut O, C) === |
|||
This tool uses 4 points to create a curve. So click on the 4 points in order of the direction you wish to go and a perfectly even curve will be created for you. |

The only way to edit this, is to delete the curve and create a new one using other points. You may only change the line colour. |

|||
| |
|||
Select all the points along the curve that you wish to create, press 'Enter' to end selecting and use the handles to tweak the curve to suit you. You need to select 3 or more points. |
|||
|Click on the first curve and then on the second curve. A node will be placed where the two curves intersect. If the curves intersect more than once, you will then be able choose which intersection you would like, i.e. between the highest or lowest or the left-most or right-most point of intersection |

''Note. This tool was redesigned in version 0.5.0. Since 0.5.0 you can control length and angle of 'handles' by formulas.'' |

===[[File:GC00005.jpg|50px]] Tool Segment a curved path=== |

Select the curve that you wish to segment, a formula box will pop up and you can select the exact segment you wish to place a point in and complete the formula. |

===[[File:GC00006.jpg|50px]] Tool for creating curves=== |
|||
''Available since version 0.5.0.'' |
|||
This is a great tool for creating full circle skirts but it has many other uses. Click on 7 or more points that you wish to use to create your curve and press 'Enter' when done. In the 1st image below, I have selected a number of points at random, just to show what it does. In the 2nd image, I have used it in the armhole (perhaps not the best place to use it). And in the 3rd image, I have used it to create the waist of a full circle skirt. |

===[[File:GC00007.jpg|50px]] Tool Point intersection curves=== |
|||
''Available since version 0.5.0.'' |
|||
Select the 1st curve and then the 2nd curve. A point will be placed at the place where the 2 curves intersect. |

===[[File:GC00008.jpg|50px]] Tool Point intersect curve and axis=== |
|||
Select the curve. Click 1st axis point and then the next. A point will be placed where the curve and axis line intersect, with a line from the 1st axis point to the new point. |

<span style="color: red;">Note: I have mostly used the armhole curve to demonstrate these curves, so that one can identify with the use and view the differences created by using the different curve tools. For instance, the 'Tool for creating curves' wouldn't be the ideal tool to use at the armhole.</span> |
