Smoothing polygons
You can use the Smooth command to convert a polygon a path
made of straight segments to a path with smooth curves. You can
smooth any paths made of straight segments, including rectangles
and paths drawn with the Curve tool, as long as they have only
straight segments. The Smooth command is a convenient way for
those who havent mastered curve drawing to create smooth shapes.
To smooth a polygon: Select the polygon and choose Object >
Path > Smooth. Canvas converts the polygons corner points into
smooth points, which changes the paths straight line segments into
curved segments. For more information about editing smooth points
and curved segments, see Reshaping paths by editing anchor points
on page 23.438.
You can use the Unsmooth command to restore the straight segments
of a polygon that was smoothed with the Smooth command. How-
ever, you can use Unsmooth only if the smoothed polygon wasnt
edited after it was smoothed.
To unsmooth a smoothed polygon: Select the smooth poly-
gon and choose Object > Path > Unsmooth. Canvas restores the poly-
gons straight line segments.
