A node is indeed a point.
each node connects to itâs neighbors using either point-to-point (straight to the next one) or curves (technically splines, which are the handle you can grab to modify the curve).
snapping is the default behavior in Easel⌠when you move a node, and itâs near lining up either vertically or horizontally to another node it will âsnapâ into alignment⌠good it youâre trying to align them, bad if youâre not.
deleting nodes can be useful when you want to make a shape less complex/jagged⌠and they can be very complex if the shape came from an image file that was being traced. Basically it lets you smooth out the lines so that cuts arenât trying to adjust for every pixel in the original image, but rather a much smoother curve/line (which also calculates faster and doesnât make your machine act like it has epilepsy jumping back and forth)
