Direct drawing of a Bézier curve

Open the Curve toolbar by clicking on the small

black triangle of the symbol on the

Drawing toolbar. Click on the Curve icon .

The mouse cursor changes to .

Click on the starting point of the curve and keep

the mouse button pressed (starting and end

points are shown here in the figures as snap

points).

Drag the mouse to approximately the position of

your first control point. It does not matter if this

is not exactly right as you can move the control

point location later. If you hold the Shift key

down while dragging, the control point will lie

on a 45 degree grid.

Release the mouse button and move the mouse

to the position of the end point of the curve. You

can see that the line of the curve follows the

movement of the mouse. Double-click at the end

position.

Turn on point mode with the icon from the

Draw toolbar.

At the end of the curve you will see not only the

end point but also an associated control point,

the round handle. Hover the mouse cursor over

this point; the cursor shape changes to show

that you are in edit mode of a control point. You

may have to click on the control point to see this

change in behavior (see next section).

Now you can drag the control point to its correct

position, if necessary.
