The Curve Tool

  1. Click the curve tool in the tool box. Choose a different width for the line by clicking a line width from the bottom of the tool box. Choose a new color for the line by clicking a color box in the color palette.


    Assignment: Draw 2 arcs at the bottom of the page using the directions below.

  2. Draw a straight horizontal line by dragging the mouse pointer about 10cm. (It may be constrained by the Shift key).
  3. Click where you want one arc of the curve to be, and then drag the mouse pointer to adjust the curve.


    Each curve must have at least one arc but no more than two. Repeat this step for a second arc. Use the left mouse button to draw with the foreground color or the right mouse button to draw with the background color.
