tools.
The open shape, indicated by the circles at the start and end of the shape, was created by
clicking 4 points, then clicking Line toolbar > End Shape Open. The closed shape was created by
clicking 3 points, then clicking Line toolbar > End Shape Closed. When End Shape Closed was
clicked, a line segment was automatically added between points 1 and 3. You must have at least
