Editing Lines
At this step, you might normally need to correct a few lines. You should especially make sure that the lines
around regions are completely closed or intersect to form a region. You may also wish to edit a line image and
either add or remove some details or your image. You can do this at this stage using the pens and erasers of
the Tool Box.
In this example, you are going practice how to use an eraser to remove some of the outline.

To do this, simply hold down the left mouse button and start drawing the line.
If you are not satisfied with your editions, you can go back to Stage 1, convert your
pattern and start editing again.
