<h1>Creating shapes</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Photopea offers several tools for creating vector graphics: Pen, Free Pen, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon etc..
|
||
|
|
Each tool has one of three modes, which you can switch in the top menu.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Path</b> - adds a new path into an existing shape</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Shape</b> - creates a new Shape layer</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Pixels</b> - the result is rasterized immidiatelly, then combined with a current raster layer</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When you choose the Path mode, you can also choose the boolean operation, that will be used for new paths.</p>

<h2><img class="inline" src="../img/tools/pen.png" />Pen</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This tool allows you to create paths knot - by - knot. Press in the image to add a knot.
|
||
|
|
Then drag and release to add handles, or release immidiatelly to keep handles collapsed.
|
||
|
|
Clicking again on the first knot in the path will close the path.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If there is one knot already selected, the new knot is added right after that knot (into the same path).
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the new path is started, and the knot becomes the first knot in the new path.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The regular usage is to click to start a new path, then keep clicking to add more knots
|
||
|
|
(since each new knot is selected after adding, so the next knot is added right after it).
|
||
|
|
But you can also select some knot manually (with Direct Select) and new knots will be added after it (into an existing path).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2><img class="inline" src="../img/tools/fpen.png" />Free Pen</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Click with mouse and draw some shape. Then, release the mouse. Your stroke will be converted into a smooth vector curve.
|
||
|
|
Change the Tolerance value to make a curve smoother.</p>
|
||
|
|

|

|
|
Specific shapes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Click and drag with a mouse to draw a path with the specific geometric shape. Hold Shift to keep the proportions of the new path.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>
|
||
|
|
<img class="inline" src="../img/tools/cshape.png" />Custom shape</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>With this tool, you can add a complex shape from the current gallery of shapes.
|
||
|
|
You can import your own collections of shapes in a CSH format using File - Open.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>
|
||
|
|
<img class="inline" src="../img/tools/pshape.png" />
|
||
|
|
Parametric Shape</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>This tool can draw other exotic shapes, which require some parameters. You can draw <b>a Polygon, a Star, a Spiral</b> and possibly many other shapes in the future.
|
||
|
|
Each shape has several parameters, which allow you to customize the shape.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Text to Shape</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can convert any text layer into a vector shape layer by right-clicking it (in Layers panel) and pressing <b>Convert to Shape</b>.
|
||
|
|
Each character will become a path with knots, which you can modify manually (e.g. rotate each character by a random angle).</p>
