Inkscape - How to Delete a Node

By Stephen Bucaro

To delete a node on a segment:

1. Click on the "Edit path by nodes" tool button.

2. Then click on the object to select the nodes.

3. Click on the node you wish to delete in order to select it. Note that the selected node is highlighted.

4. Click on the "Delete selected nodes" button on the tool bar to delete the selected node.

The remaining nodes adjacent to the one you deleted will now be connected with a Bezier curve.

5. With the "Edit path by nodes" tool selected, drag the segment shaping handles to adjust the shape of the segment between the two remaining adjacent nodes.
