<h1>5 Object types</h1>
30
Ipe supports six different types of geometric objects, namely path
31
objects (which includes all objects with a stroked contour and filled
32
interior, such as (poly)lines, polygons, splines, splinegons, circles
33
and ellipses, circular and elliptic arcs, and rectangles), mark
34
objects, text objects, image objects, group objects, and reference
35
objects (which means that a template is reused at a certain spot).
36
<p>Most objects are created by clicking the left mouse button somewhere
37
on the canvas in the right Ipe mode. Group objects are created using
38
the <em>Group</em> function on the <em>Edit</em> menu, and image objects
39
can be added to the document using the <em>Insert image</em> ipelet.
