Shapes, paths and text
Draw shapes and text that stay sharp at any size and keep their points editable. They go on a vector layer: click vector in the Layers pane first.
Draw a rectangle or an ellipse
Press U and drag. Hold shift for a square or a circle.
Draw a path
Press P, click to place corners and drag to pull out curves. Click the first point to close the path, or press Return to leave it open.
Change the points
Press A, click the shape and drag its points and handles. Alt click on the outline adds a point.
To move several points together, drag a box around them, then drag one of them. Hold shift while you drag the box to take the points of every shape on the layer, not only the one you clicked.
Fill a shape with a gradient
Select the shape with V, then in layer settings switch its fill to linear or radial and edit the stops.
Write text
Press T, click and type, and press Esc to finish. The font picker also finds any family on Google Fonts, and the font is kept inside the drawing.
Repeat a shape
Select it and pick repeat it, scatter it or mirror it from the Layer menu. The copies stay settings you can change.
