Line Segment - the straight or curved line between two nodes. For more information about nodes, see Working with nodes. Node - a point on a path or contour that lets you define its shape. Some of a contour’s properties are determined by the object’s properties, such as the line style, fill color, and anti-aliasing. Some paths are closed, in which their start and end points are the same.Ĭontour - contains at least one line segment. A path’s direction flows from its start to its end point. The properties of the path are controlled by the object’s properties. Path - includes all of the contours in an object. For more information, see Aligning, distributing, and arranging vector objects. Each object contains one path made up of contours and nodes. An object has properties you can control such as line style and fill color. Each object is represented by its own bounding box. Object - anything you create with the Pen or Preset Shape tool. In order to understand vector objects, you must be familiar with the following terms. For information about vector, floating, and selecting text, see Working with text. If you try to draw a vector object on a raster layer, Corel PaintShop Pro creates a new vector layer for the vector object.įor more information on vector and raster objects, see Creating images. Important! You can only draw vector objects on vector layers. You can also edit the paths, contours, line segments, and nodes that make up vector objects. If you draw a raster object on a vector layer, Corel PaintShop Pro creates a new raster layer for your object.Ī vector object’s properties - such as its outline color, fill color, size, and location - can be easily changed. Important! You can only draw raster objects on raster layers. You can edit the pixels with raster editing tools. Even though you create a raster object in the same way as a vector object, the result is a pixel-based shape.

When you draw raster objects, you are really painting on a raster layer.
