Other tools for creating paths
In addition to the Bezier Pen Tool and the Freehand Drawing Tool, there are three more tools for creating specific kinds of paths. You may have used graphics applications in which lines, rectangles, and ellipses are different kinds of objects, but in Comic Strip Factory they are all paths. This primarily affects how they can be edited after they are created. They can all be edited with the reshaping tool just like any other path, allowing you to add, delete, and move points in them to turn them into something else.
The line tool (keyboard shortcut: L) allows you to draw lines. If you hold down the shift key while using it, the line is restricted to horizontal, vertical, or a 45 degree angle diagonal.
The rectangle tool (keyboard shortcut: R) allows you to draw squares and rectangles. If you hold down the shift key while using it, the shape it makes is restricted to a square.
The ellipse tool (keyboard shortcut: R) allows you to draw circles and ellipses. If you hold down the shift key while using it, the shape it makes is restricted to a circle.
