3.2.6 Spline

A spline is like a polyline whose sharp corners are rounded off to make a curve.

To create a spline:
1)Press the Spline button in the toolbar.
2)Click the cursor in the drawing area where you want the spline to begin. This places the first point for the spline.
3)Add new breakpoints by clicking in the desired positions. Note that while the spline is being drawn, it will be drawn with sharp corners like a polyline.
4)Complete the spline creation by double-clicking the left mouse button where you want the end of the spline (you can cancel the creation any time by pressing right mouse button).

As the formatting and editing of splines is similar to that of polylines, please see Section 3.2.5 for more information.
