Insert or Remove Vertices
Easily insert vertices with the Insert Tool, or remove them with the Knife Tool. Use the Knife Tool to cut a Bezier into 2 or more segments - an exact math operation. Double or Halve vertices with a menu click. Rotate an existing curve with a simple click and drag of the Rotate Tool.
Live Interactive Control
Point-click-drag any vertex or any of the controls. All the math is done live, you see the curve evolve before your eyes. Use the Graphic Details drawer (the light blue panel above) to input control points with digital precision -- in the units chosen for your drawing. Step through each vertex with the stepper (shown at the top of the Graphic Details drawer) to quickly review all control point locations and angles.
Node Edit Tool
Sometimes called "the white arrow tool". Use the Node Edit tool to select multiple Bezier nodes, then move them in unison. The selection of nodes may span multiple graphics (or even multiple layers). A must have for Bezier design. The independent user tool makes node editing very easy with a natural feel. Works great with table and pen, mouse, or trackpad.
Everything is a Bezier
All EazyDraw graphic elements are rendered as Bezier Curves. This means that any graphic may be converted to a Bezier Curve. Convert typeset text to Bezier Glyphs for editing and advance effects.
Several Methods to Join
Group - combine several elements for convenience and scaling. Join - with full winding rule support - punch "holes" in objects. Weld - take advantage of symmetries to simplify drawing actions, then truly combine the component paths into one "welded" Bezier. Crop and Frame - commonly used when working with photos or other bitmap content.
