Xara Xtreme uses two types of drawing tools: Freehand tools and Shape tools.

The Freehand tools allow you to hand-draw lines or shapes on the page. You can simply drag on the drawn lines to convert them into curves, or 'push' and 'pull' them in a very intuitive way. You can choose in advance how closely you want the computer to follow your movements, or you can smooth out any minor bumps with Xara Xtreme's retroactive smoothing. You can even draw one shape, then add another bit to it by drawing some more and joining up with the original object.

Shape tools, like the rectangle, circle/ellipse and Quickshape tools allow you to draw pre-set shapes very quickly and easily.

Any object you create, either Freehand or Shape, can be resized or rotated by simply dragging its handles.
