We now generate line segments with the segment tool. You will also learn, how to call the properties dialog of objects.

 

Create the same triangle once more. You can

  • either start with three points and then connect them with the segment tool,
  • or you can start with the segment tool and create the points on the fly.

To create a segment, you can select an empty space or an existing point for the start and the end. If you want to select an existing point, make sure to hit it exactly. To see that, move the mouse to the point, until it highlights.

When finished, move the points. The construction is correct, if the segments follow the points.

Takes back the last step.

For a change, create a pentagon in red.

This icon changes the color of new objects.

Click on a point or a segment with the right mouse button. A dialog opens, where you can change many settings of the object. Play around with these settings. Have a look into the documentation for more details.
