[nightcrawler]

hi im new to this, i noticed that after a vectorized image, i see little boxes where you can move them, on the image, what are these called, and is there a program where you can add these lines. i tried with inkscape but the lines dont stay.

The boxes are called nodes as well as control points. They are movable and can be used to edit the vectors into different angles and lengths by any vector editing application including most version of FlexiSign, CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator.

Then work in how you actually pronounce that word.

Bezier definition

graphics
(After Frenchman Pierre Bézier from Regie Renault) A collection of formulae for describing curved lines ( Bezier curve) and surfaces ( Bezier surface), first used in 1972 to model automobile surfaces.
Curves and surfaces are defined by a set of "control points" which can be moved interactively making Bezier curves and surfaces convenient for interactive graphic design.

Then work in how you actually pronounce that word.

Pronunciation: bez-ee-ay

lines? I would agree with above comments that the "boxes" are "nodes", but the reason I brought up bezier was because you used the word "lines" and I wondered if you mean the "handles" connected to the nodes, which are not line segments in the vector artwork, but rather the bezier curve controls, that allow adjustments of a curved segment, or even curving of a formally straight segment, as shown here.

Obviously a Freudian slip, I presume?

BTW a "Brazier" is a wood or coal-fired box used for grilling. Brassiere is the word in question.

Let's not forget it is also a frosty ice cream treat!
