To edit a line:

1. Click its layer name to select the layer.

2. To move, resize, scale, skew, or rotate the line, choose the Shape Edit

Tool. This deform tool works by manipulation of the bounding box around

the line—drag on a corner or edge. (For details on its use, see Deforming on

p. 110.)

3. To reshape the line, choose the Node Edit Tool. The line consists of

line segments and nodes (points where the line segments meet). You can

drag one or more individual nodes, or click and drag directly on a line

segment.

When you select a node, control handles for the adjacent line segments appear;

each segment in the line has a control handle at either end. The selected node is

drawn with a red center, with the control handle(s) attached to the nodes by blue

lines.

Any node can be one of several node types: sharp, smooth, or symmetric.

Depending on node type, the node's control handles behave a bit differently, as

you can tell with a bit of experimentation. Essentially, the node type determines

the slope and curvature of each adjoining segment, and can be chosen from the

context toolbar, i.e.
