icon_addbeziercurve Add Bezier curve

Draw a bezier curve of the desired form and size on the display. Click and hold the left mouse button to draw a curve (Figure 1). When the Bezier curve has the desired form and size, move the mouse to the starting point and click left or just double-click without moving the mouse (Figure 2). Now the Bezier curve element is finished (Figure 3).

It is possible to change the form and the size of the Bezier curve afterwards: Double-click the element to edit it. Clicking a rectangle lets the user move it using mouse drag, thereby changing the curve at this point (Figure 4).
