As you can see over above my pointer right now up to the right of it is a plus sign. Click on this that makes this the active anchor, click on this it makes that the active anchor, and so on. Kind of back up here just a little bit and again I’m going to put another box here, hold my control key down and that connects the lines here. So again this gives you some additional functionality here.
Now if you hold your shift key down while doing so, it puts an additional box or handle on the opposite end. Again these adds a little bit more functionality to the image that you are manipulating or creating. Now these boxes here, these are called Handles. First is, if I untick this box the same thing I can get a lot ore functionality out of this image. And just introduce you to this polygonal box, we’ll tick this and I’m going to put my mouse or my pointer over on one of these lines hold my left mouse button down and go to move this line and all I get is a straight line. And put another one up here, again the active anchor changes. I want to go down here and put another dot and it connects the two with a straight line and this is now our active anchor. Now when we click our palette, the first thing that pops up is an empty dot. So now, I’ve got the Bezier tool chosen and we’re in design, we’ve got the polygonal box unticked.
Again it just basically helps unclutter your desktop although at the same time providing you with a lot more functionality on your Gimp software. Again I had mentioned this in our prior video, I just wanted to show you what it looks like. I’ve got three different dialogs on this docking station here. I’m going to put this palette between our two docks. I’m going to untick that, I’m going to open up a new palette here. Now whenever you got this box ticked, this basically restricts your editing to just straight lines or polygons which really limits your great skills. You’ve also got Edit, Move, and Polygonal. Now basically, all we’ve got here is Design, which is the default. Now, whenever you click on this you can see down here under the paths tool dialog that there’s really not a whole lot of additional functions to this particular tool.That being said, this actually allows you to draw some pretty complex figures on your palette with a fair amount of control. Now on this video, we’re going to be introducing you to the Paths Tool, otherwise known as the “Bezier Tool”.
