Photoline Tutorial: Vector Shapes

Video Transcript

"Photoline is a registered trademark of Computer Insul, and I am in no way affiliated with the Computer Insul. In this lesson I'm going to teach you how to create vector shapes. If you come over to your tool box and select the polygon, it looks like a triangle there. I'm going to come over to my main picture and click and hold down my mouse, and drag out a triangle there. And this is a vector shape, so I can come down here to my vector toolbox and change the line color, like so, as well as the width and the style, and the fill color, as well. And I can do this at anytime, as I said. I can also come over to the tool settings and change the amounts of corners on my polygon at anytime. I can also change the angle as well. And if you click on your polygon tool, you've got some other options. You can create rounded boxes, and squares, and your ellipse and circles and such things. And these all function pretty much the same, but I'm going to leave it on polygon for right now. And what I can do, is I can come in and, if I select my select points, my edit vector points tool, it looks like a arrow. I can come in and adjust these points in the vector, as well. I can also delete the point by selecting the delete vector points, there, as well. and another thing I can do, I can create vector points, by selecting the insert vector points, it looks like a hammer, and come in and create those anywhere along the lines. Also what I can do, is if I select the connect vector paths, right here, looks like kind of a glue bottle, I can come over and connect two points together just by clicking on them. And that's how you create vector shapes, and use some of the tools associated with them."
