Interpolated Points

The Interpolated Points shape is a shape created by interpolating a sequence of points using a user selected interpolation mode.

The Interpolated Points shape is non-destructive and the points remain editable with the Node tool, and the interpolation mode can be selected in the Shapes panel. To create actual curves from the shape, use the Convert to Curves command.

Drawing with Interpolated Points

Interpolated Points can be drawn using the Interpolated Points tool from the application toolbox:

Select the Interpolated Points tool from the toolbox.
Click with the mouse to place the first point of the shape.
Move the mouse to the position of the next point and click+drag to place the next point.

The points will be interpolated using a curve.

The interpolated points shape is a non-destructive shape where the interpolation scheme can be changed by the user.
