As for the other shape-based tools, many aspects of the the shapes' appearance and positioning can be modified by manipulating them directly in the player.
One notable exception to this is the shear parameters which, for both shape and clone/reveal transforms, can only be modified through the Transform tab.
When the Transform tool is active, the selected shapes' pivot and bounding box are drawn on top of the rendered shape. Handles on these symbols allow the translation, rotation, scale and pivot to be manipulated. Please refer to the Transforming Masks section for detailed information about shape transform manipulation.
When the Edit tool is active, the selected shape's curve, points, edge gradient (if any) are drawn on top of the rendered shape.
The color used to draw these symbols can be changed in the Settings tab, and applies to all the shapes in the currently selected Vector Paint node.
The curve and edge gradient symbols can be turned off, if needed, to avoid clutter. See the Settings Tab for these parameters, and consult the Hotkey Editor for the hotkeys associated with toggling the curve and edge gradient visibility
Please refer to the Editing Masks section for detailed information about point and edge gradient manipulation.
Shapes using the Clone or Reveal Draw mode can have their source image transform adjusted directly in the player using the Clone/Reveal Transform tool. This manipulation tool is available for single-shape selections, and its manipulators will only be drawn if the selected shape's Operation is set to Clone or Reveal.
The manipulators appear in the player at the pivot position for the image being used. This means that the manipulators will not necessarily be close to the actual shape using the image. The shape's name is indicated beside the manipulator to identify which shape's clone/reveal transform is being edited.
This tool has two editing modes: one for editing the translation/rotation/scale, and one for editing the pivot and its rotation. You can toggle between the two using the "Set Clone|Reveal Pivot" hotkey, which defaults to "Ins". When the pivot is being edited, the text "(Pivot)" appears after the shape's name close to the manipulator.
This manipulation tool is the same as the one found in the 2D Transform tool. Please refer to the 2D Transform Tool for further details.
Please note that the clone/reveal preview can be enabled when manipulating to have a better idea of which section of the image is being used.
