Mixing curves, corners, and straight segments as you draw
You can freely alter point types and direction lines as you draw a path. This is useful for 
interactively drawing straight and curved segments on a single path, or when you want to 
draw two curved segments that are connected by a corner point.
To draw a straight segment followed by a curved segment:
Using the pen tool  , click corner points in two locations to create a straight segment.
Position the pen tool over the selected endpoint. A convert-anchor-point icon   
appears next to the pen tool when it is positioned correctly. Drag a direction point at an 
end of the direction line that appears, to set the slope of the curved segment you’ll 
create next.
