Creating Vectors
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Artboard | the area that contains the printable part of your artwork. |
| Objects | any shape, image, or text that can be moved, scaled, or edited. |
| Lines | an open ended path with two anchor points, which included straight, beziers, and spirals. |
| Anchor Point | basic component of paths, which appear at the start and end of every path or where it changes direction. |
| Line segment | part of a line that has an anchor point one each end. |
| Path | made up of one or more line segments, connected by two or more anchor points or nodes. |
| Open path | one or more paths for which the start point and end point are not the same, for example a straight or curved line. |
| Closed path | a continuous path that has no beginning or end, for example a circle or rectangle. |
| Shapes | geometric based tools that allow you to create primitive shapes, such as rectangle, ellipses, and polygons. |
| Transformations | Scaling, rotation, shearing (skewing), and reflecting (flipping) objects to change their appearance |
| Stacking Order | the order of how objects are arranged on the artboard, in front or behind each other. |
| Selection Tool | selects an object or a group of objects |
| Direct Selection Tool | selects individual anchor points or line segments in order to edit individual pieces of an object. |
| Stroke | the visible outline of a shape or path, such as the color, weight, or style, which is not the same as a path as a path can have no stroke as an option |
| Fill | To put a color, gradient, or pattern into an object. |
| Swatches | named colors tints, gradients, and patterns. |
| Gradients | filling an object with a smooth transition from one color to another. |
| Patterns | a repeated (tiled) decorative design. |
| Drawing | using shapes or other tools such as the pen or pencil to simulate the experience of drawing on paper. |
| Pen tool | it uses anchor points and paths to allow you to create straight lines, Bezier lines (curved), and shapes in a countless amount of combinations. |
| Bezier | a curved segment of a path which uses handles to control the shape of the curve. |
| Image Trace | a tool in a vector program will take a raster image or scanned drawing and automatically convert it to paths, based on selected settings. |
| Pathfinder | a tool that contains four shape options and six pathfinder options that allow you to combine multiple objects in a variety to way to create complex shapes. |
| Effect | commands that can be applied to an object, group, or layer to change its characteristics, such as distort and transform, wrap, and stylize. |
| Point type | a line of text that begins at the point that you click, which expands as you type. |
| Area type | uses the boundaries of an area created by dragging a marquee with the type tool to control the flow of text. |
| Type on Path | allows you to attach text to an open or closed path. |
| Text wrap | controls how area text flows over or around objects and images. |
