| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Artboard | The area that contains the printable part of your artwork |
| Bojects | Any shape, image, or text that can be moved, scaked, or edited |
| Lines | An open ended path with 2 anchor points, which include straight, beziers, and spirals |
| Anchor point | Basic component of paths, which appear at the start and end of every path or where it changes direction |
| Line segment | Part of a line that has an anchor point on each end |
| Path | Made up of one or more line segments, connected by 2 or more anchor points or nodes |
| Open path | 1 or more paths for which the start point and end point are not the same, for example a straight or curved line |
| Closed path | A continuous path that has no beginning or end, for example a circle or rectangle |
| Shapes | Geometric based tools that allow you to create primitive shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, and polygons |
| Transformations | Scaling, rotation, shearing. and reflecting objects to change their appearance |
| Stacking order | The order of how objects are arranged on the artboard, in front of or behind each other |
| Selection tool | Selects an object or a group of objects |
| Direct selection tool | Selects individual anchor points or line segments in order to edit individual pieces of art |
| Stroke | The visible outline of a shape or path, such as the color, weight, or style, which is not the same as a path as a path can have no stroke as an option |
| Fill | Tu put a color, gradient, or pattern into an object |

| Pen tool | It uses anchor points and paths to allow you to create straight lines, bezier lines, and shapes in a countless amount of combinations |
| Bezier | A curved segment of a path which uses handles to control the shape of the curve |
| Image Trace | A tool in a vector program will take a raster image or scanned drawing and automatically convert it into paths, based on selected settings |
| Pathfinder | A tool that contains 4 shape options and 6 pathfinder options that allow you to combine multiple objects in a variety to way to create complex shapes |
| Effect | Commands that can be applied to an object, group, or layer to change its characteristics, such as distort and transform, warp, and stylize |
| Point type | A line of text that begins at the point that you click, which expands as you type |
| Area type | Uses the boundaries of an area created by dragging a marquee with the type tool to control the flow of text |
| Type on path | Allows you to attach text to an open or closed path |
