Delete Segment

The Delete Segment action removes a selected segment from an existing path. A different behavior is received depending on the type of segment chosen for handle insertion:

• Line Segment- The entire segment is removed.
• Quadratic Curve Segment - The entire segment and corresponding quadratic control point are removed.
• Cubic Curve Segment - The entire segment and all cubic curve control points are removed.

In the provided example, the bottom Line Segment of the figure is chosen. Follow the steps below to delete a segment:

Step 1: Touch and Hold on the desired segment to select it and open the Contextual Menu.

Step 2: Tap on the Delete Segment option.

Step 3: The Line Segment and corresponding end point (orange) are removed. The remaining segment end points are joined.

The following screenshots show the resulting control point and segment changes when a Cubic Curve Segment is deleted from a figure. In this example, the top cubic curve is chosen for deletion. The selected segment and both control points are removed.

Note: Refer to the Handles Reference section of this documentation to learn more about each handle.
