Object types

Ipe currently supports twelve different types of geometric objects, namely (poly)lines, polygons, splines, splinegons, circles (which includes ellipses), circular arcs, rectangles, marks, text objects, minipage objects, bitmaps and group objects. The first ten of these can be created directly by clicking the left mouse button somewhere on the canvas, when the corresponding object type is selected. Group objects are created using the group function in the struc menu. Bitmaps can only be imported from other files or from Iums. Some of the object types have variants. In this chapter we consider the different object types one by one.

  • Polygonal objects
  • Spline objects
  • Text objects
  • Circle objects
  • Rectangle objects
  • Mark objects
  • Circular arcs
