Path segments, components, and points
A path consists of one or more straight or curved segments. Anchor points mark the endpoints of the path segments.
On curved segments, each selected anchor point displays one or two direction lines, ending in direction points. The
positions of direction lines and points determine the size and shape of a curved segment. Moving these elements
reshapes the curves in a path.
