How to Use the Vector Function in XCS?
Updated Jan 9,2024
Updated Jan 9,2024

The "Vector" function is a useful feature that allows you to draw various shapes. However, it's common for users to feel a bit confused about its usage. Let's go through the editing process and questions that might arise when working with this tool.

Start Drawing

To enter the drawing state, you can either click on "vector" in the vertical toolbar or press the shortcut "P". Once you've entered the painting state, you can create a node by clicking on the canvas. When you've finished drawing, press the "Esc" or "S" key on your keyboard to end the editing process.

Draw a Vertical or Horizontal Line

To draw a vertical or horizontal line, a square, or a perfect circle, we recommend using the Insert function and the corresponding shortcut keys.

Turn a Line into a Curve

  • Double-click on the graphic to enter the editing state of the anchor points.
  • Locate the anchor point(s) of the square that you would like to adjust. Click on the anchor point(s) to select them.
  • With the anchor point(s) selected, you have the flexibility to switch between straight lines and curves.
  • If the anchor point has a blue line segment, it represents a curve state.
  • If the blue line segment disappears, it indicates a straight-line state.
