| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “'''Basics of Bezier tool'''” using '''Inkscape'''.

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial we will learn to

|-
| 00:08
| Draw straight lines and closed shapes

|-
| 00:11
| Draw curved lines

|-
| 0013
| Add, edit and delete nodes

|-
| 00:15
| To record this tutorial, I am using

|-
| 00:18
| '''Ubuntu Linux''' 12.04 OS

|-
| 00:21
| '''Inkscape''' version 0.48.4

|-
| 00:24
| I will be recording this tutorial in maximum resolution mode.

|-
| 00:28
| This is to accommodate all the tools that will be demonstrated.

|-
| 00:32
| Let us open '''Inkscape.'''

|-
| 00:35
| First let us draw a straight line using '''Bezier tool. '''

|-
| 00:39
| The '''Bezier tool''' is right below the '''Pencil tool.'''

|-
| 00:42
| Let's click on it.

|-
| 00:44
| Observe the 4 options in the '''Tool controls bar '''at the top left.

|-
| 00:48
| There are 4 modes of drawing '''bezier curve'''.

|-
| 00:51
| By default, the '''Create regular bezier path '''option is enabled'''.'''

|-
| 00:57
| Click once on the canvas and move the cursor to the other end.

|-
| 01:01
| Click once again. Notice that the line drawn is highlighted in green color.

|-
| 01:07
| Now '''right-click '''to complete the line.

|-
| 01:11
| The two end points of the line are called '''nodes. '''We will learn more about them a little later.

|-
| 00:17
| Next, let us draw a triangle.

|-
| 01:21
| First draw a slanted line. Click once and draw another line at an angle.

|-
| 01:27
| Now click once more to draw a third line and join it with the starting '''node '''to complete the triangle.

|-
| 01:34
| Next, we will draw a curved line using '''bezier tool.'''

|-
|01:38
| Click on the canvas to draw a straight line. Click again, hold and drag to form a curve.

|-
| 01:46
| Right-click to complete the curve.

|-
| 01:48
| In a similar way, draw some more curve shapes on the canvas.

|-
| 01:55
| Remember these steps- Click and draw a straight line.

|-
| 01:59
| Click again, hold and drag to form a curve.

|-
| 02:03
| Then right-click to complete the curve.

|-
| 02:06
| Press '''Ctrl + A''' and clear the canvas before proceeding further.

|-
| 02:11
| Next let us learn how to draw a closed curved path.

|-
| 02:15
| First draw a curved line on the canvas.

|-
| 02:18
| Then we release the mouse and move the cursor away from the end node of the curved line.

|-
| 02:23
| We see a curved path in red color.

|-
| 02:27
| If you click once and move the cursor, we see a straight path in red color. To make it as curve click and drag.

|-
| 02:36
| Again at the end node the line curves as we move.

|-
| 02:41
| Again click once we see a straight path in red color. To make the straight line curve, click and drag

|-
| 02:50
| Again at the end node the line curves as we move. Move the cursor and go back to the starting node and close the path.

|-
| 02:59
| Go to '''Tool controls bar.''' Click on the second icon of the mode. This helps to create spiral paths and irregular shapes.

|-
| 03:08
| Draw some irregular curves and close the path.

|-
| 03:15
| Observe that it transforms into the closest spiral shape. Let me clear the canvas now.

|-
| 03:22
| The third icon creates only straight lines. Click on it and draw lines on the '''canvas. '''

|-
| 03:29
| Note we cannot draw curved lines in this mode.

|-
| 03:32
| We can draw triangles or polygons which have straight sides.

|-
| 03:40
| Click on the last icon and draw on the''' canvas.'''

|-
| 03:44
| In this mode, we can draw only parallel and perpendicular lines i.e. either vertical or horizontal lines.

|-
| 03:52
| So, we can draw squares and rectangles in this mode.

|-
| 03:58
| Let me delete all the shapes drawn.

|-
| 04:02
| '''Shape''' option helps to draw lines or curves in a particular shape.

|-
| 04:07
| Click on the drop down button.

|-
| 04:09
| There are 5 options here- '''None, Triangle in, Triangle out, Ellipse, From clipboard.'''

|-
| 04:18
| The first option that is '''None''' does not give any effect. So we will move on to '''Triangle in. '''

|-
| 04:25
| Click on it and draw a line on the '''canvas. '''

|-
| 04:28
| The line is transformed to a triangle shape inwards.

|-
| 04:34
| Next click on '''Triangle out '''and''' '''draw a line on the canvas.

|-
| 04:39
| Now a triangle shape is formed outwards.

|-
| 04:43
| Click on the '''Ellipse''' and draw a line.

|-
| 04:47
| Observe that the line is in '''ellipse '''shape.

|-
| 04:50
| We will learn about the last option that is '''From clipboard''' in later tutorial.

|-
| 04:56
| Now, let us learn to add, edit and delete '''nodes'''.

|-
| 05:00
| This can be done using the '''Node tool.'''

|-
| 05:03
| Delete the lines on the '''canvas.'''

|-
| 05:06
| Go to '''Tool controls bar.''' Change the '''Mode''' to '''regular path '''and '''Shape''' to '''None.'''

|-
| 05:13
| Come back to the '''canvas''' and draw a rough human palm.

|-
| 05:23
| Now click on the''' Node tool. '''

|-
| 05:26
| Notice all the nodes in this figure are visible.

|-
| 05:30
| Turn your attention to the '''Tools Controls bar.'''

|-
| 05:33
| The first 6 icons here, helps to add and delete''' nodes''' and paths'''. '''

|-
| 05:38
| Refer to the tool tip to understand better.

|-
| 05:41
| Click on any segment. Notice both the nodes turn blue.

|-
| 05:48
| Then click on the '''Add node '''option.

|-
| 05:52
| Observe that a new node has been added exactly in-between the nodes of the selected segment.

|-
| 05:58
| Now select a smaller segment and repeat the above steps.

|-
| 06:04
| You will see that a new node is added at the mid-point of the smaller segment.

|-
| 06:10
| Now, select the newly added node.

|-
| 06:13
| Click on '''Delete node '''option. The node is now deleted.

|-
| 06:18
| Click on any one of the '''nodes''' on the palm.

|-
| 06:21
| To make the '''bezier handle''' visible click on the last but one icon on the '''Tool controls bar. '''

|-
| 06:27
| Now the '''bezier handles''' for the selected segment is visible.

|-
| 06:32
| If not, then just click on the segment and without releasing the mouse, move it a little.

|-
| 06:37
| The segment will curve and the bezier handles will be visible now.

|-
| 06:41
| Click on the '''handles '''to resize and rotate the selected '''node'''.

|-
| 06:45
| In a similar way, modify the other '''nodes '''too.

|-
| 07:04
| The next icon helps to join '''nodes.'''

|-
| 07:07
| Observe there is an extra '''node''' on the index finger.

|-
| 07:11
| Select the extra middle '''node''' and the top '''node '''by using the '''Shift''' key.

|-
| 07:18
| Now click on '''join node''' icon. Observe that the nodes are now joined together.

|-
| 07:25
| The next icon helps to break path at selected '''nodes'''.

|-
| 07:29
| Let now break the connection between the thumb and the index finger.

|-
| 07:33
| So select the joining''' node''' in between and click on '''break path''' icon.

|-
| 07:40
| Unselect the '''node. '''Then select it again and move it a little.

|-
| 07:46
| You will notice that the path is broken and the '''nodes''' are separated into 2 distinct nodes.

|-
| 07:53
| To join them, select the same 2 '''nodes''' and click on the '''join selected end-nodes''' icon on the '''Tool controls bar. '''

|-
| 08:03
| Notice, a new '''path '''is created between these 2 '''nodes.'''

|-
| 08:08
| Click on the next icon i.e. '''Delete segment''' icon to remove the path or segment. Now the path is removed.

|-
| 08:17
| Press '''Ctrl + Z''' to undo this action

|-
| 08:20
| Let me keep this hand aside. Click on the '''Node tool '''once again.

|-
| 08:26
| Let us learn how to use next 4 icons on the '''Tool controls bar.'''

|-
| 08:30
| These icons helps to edit the selected nodes.

|-
| 08:34
| Using the '''Bezier tool '''draw an inverted '''U''' shape. Click on the '''Node''' '''tool.''' Observe there are 3 '''nodes.'''

|-
| 08:49
| Select the top node and click on '''Make selected nodes corner''' icon on the '''Tool controls bar.'''

|-
| 08:55
| This makes it as the corner node.

|-
| 08:58
| Click on the '''bezier handles''' and move them up and down to see the change.

|-
| 09:03
| Click on the next icon to make the '''node''' smooth. Observe the change in the shape.

|-
| 09:11
| Click on the next icon which makes the '''node''' symmetric.

|-
| 09:16
| Click on the next icon which makes the '''node''' auto smooth.

|-
| 09:20
| The next 2 icons works only on segments. So, select the left segment of the '''U '''shape and click on the first icon.

|-
| 09:30
| As the tool tip says, the segment is now made into a straight line.

|-
| 09:35
| Click on the '''bezier handle''' and try to move. You will see that we cannot make it curved.

|-
| 09:44
| Click on the next icon to make it a curved line again.

|-
| 09:49
| Now move the '''bezier handles''' and now we can make it into a curve shape.

|-
| 09:54
| Click on the next icon to convert selected object to '''path.'''

|-
| 09:58
| Click on the next icon to convert the '''stroke to path'''.

|-
| 10:02
| Click and drag the '''nodes''' to make the '''strokes '''visible.

|-
| 10:08
| The next 2 icons helps to move the selected '''nodes''' in X and Y directions respectively.

|-
| 10:15
| Click on the up and down arrows and observe the change.

|-
|10:24
| The next 2 icons works only if the path has clipping and masking effects.

|-
| 10:29
| You can explore these options on your own.

|-
| 10:33
