A shape is open when it has two loose ends that don’t connect (like a spiral or straight line). When you use the other tools, like stretching a shape with the Select Tool, Inkscape is actually editing many nodes at once behind the scenes.Ī vector shape is closed when it makes a complete loop (like a circle or square) and every node connects to two others. You can edit vector shapes by moving the nodes and changing the angles of the segments with the Node Tool, or by using Inkscape’s other tools. They are made up of points called nodes, and segments that connect the nodes.
The items inside your Inkscape file are vector images, which use mathematical equations to define shapes.
