Polyline

Menu: Draw > Polyline

Toolbar: Main, Draw

Description: Draws a polyline. Polyline is a chain of line and arc segments. The connecting points of these segments are called vertices. Drawing polyline consists of drawing segments of lines (by two points) and arcs (by three points). The arc segments are drawn with the SHIFT key pressed. You complete drawing by double-clicking. The right-button menu opens additional options.

The polyline can be edited (see description of Modify > Polyline command ) or exploded into separate arcs and segments by Modify > Explode command.

Raster Color Flood Fill

Menu: Draw > Raster> Color Flood Fill

Toolbar: Draw

Description:

The performance of color floodfilling operation is controlled by settings of slider in the Color Accuracy toolbar.
The leftmost position of Color accuracy slider (0%) corresponds to floodfilling areas in big range of colors close to chosen one thus eliminating the speckles and small areas (and maybe useful details) of close colors; the rightmost (100%) corresponds to the narrowest range of colors close to chosen one and leaves many details untouched.
On the pictures below you can see results of color filling of the same area with opposite values of Color accuracy. Note that 0% of accuracy yields more readable text (left), while 100% of accuracy preserves vertical line (right).

The other option is the default color of filling areas, which you can set in the Colors section of the Preferences dialog.

Colors treated as close in the above text are "close" in terms of current color model but may not seem "close" in human perception.

Raster Edit Raster Text

Menu: Draw > Raster > Edit Raster Text

Description: This command is the simplest way to add a rasterized text on an image and (optionally) remove the underlying texts and raster fragments.
Is it actually a sequence of operations performed in a row:
- selecting the insertion point and area to place text in;
- typing and editing text, modifying its properties;
- inserting text, clearing the area occupied by it;
- rasterizing text.
