The Handmade fill type in Vexy Lines is created from user-drawn curves. It preserves the authentic hand-drawn feel while offering optional refinements to enhance the final output. The following methods are available:
Manual: This method simply renders the manually drawn fill.
| drawn | strokes |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Blended: This method computes additional curves from your drawing using specified smoothness and spread parameters. The generated curves may fill the gaps between your original strokes or extend beyond them.
| drawn | strokes |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Balanced: This approach adds blended strokes between your drawn curves and adjusts stroke density to achieve a well-balanced fill.

Propagated: This option extends your drawn strokes across the entire image. Choose from three propagation styles—Square, Octagonal, or Circle—to create distinct geometric patterns.
Square: Strokes extend in a grid-like, rectangular pattern.
| drawn | strokes |
|---|---|

 |
Octagonal: Strokes radiate outward in an eight-sided geometric pattern.
| drawn | strokes |

Circle: Strokes form a smooth, rounded circular pattern.

Mask: In this method, the software traces the edges of a mask to generate a corresponding fill stroke.
| drawn mask | strokes |
|---|---|

Solid: This option converts your drawn contours into solid, filled shapes.

Edit Handmade Strokes
You can edit and transform the curves in the fill just as you would in a standard vector editor.
