Tools / Bezigon

Subtitles of the Movie

Let's take a look at the bezigon tool. Now the bezigon tool allows you to place a series of points where the tool automatically creates the line between the points. Now if you have a difficult time mastering the pen tool you may want to start off by working with bezigon tool because it does allow you a lot more flexibility and less things to remember when drawing lines and shapes. Now if I go to the pen tool you can see how this works. I can click and then try and draw curves, you can have to move it around, then click. And mess with the curve and I don't quite like the shape of that. And that's getting a little difficult, it's kind of hard to mess, we will forget that. Let's go back to the bezigon tool and let's draw a series of curves as in a spiral. So I'll start with one point, click to connect my next point, click to connect the next point and then we will start creating the spiral. And all you are doing is just creating points and the bezigon tool will draw the line in between or the curve. So it's almost like connect the dots. So the bezigon tool allows you to draw curves, users have less things to remember. Again the bezigon is essentially connect the dots and the tool draws the curves and lines for you. Then the pen tool you actually get to draw and see the lines as you are drawing them.
