Summary

In this chapter, you learned about repeated effects on paths. Apart from adding decorative effects, you can use ticks, braces, and arrows in scientific drawings, such as for mathematics or physics, or zigzags and coils in mechanical engineering.

You also learned how to work with pre- and post-actions on paths to draw something before or after a particular path. In the next chapter, we will explore such a concept for the whole picture: we will draw on the background and the foreground of pictures. Furthermore, we will use transparency to be able to see what is in the background.
