Advanced Drawing Techniques: Types of Points (Vertexes) for Shapes in PowerPoint

Every shape in PowerPoint is created using both points and segments. Points, also known as vertexes are pronounced areas of a shape, and segments are straight or curved lines that connect these points. It is easy to understand the relationship between points and segments using a connect-the-dots analogy. The points represent the dots whereas the segments represent the lines you draw between the dots.
