# Modifying the Shape of Vector Lines

When you draw a line or a shape in Toon Boom Studio, you can use the Contour Editor tool to modify and reshape it.

The Contour Editor is an important tool in the optimization of drawings for the Web.

- With the Contour Editor, you can delete points from lines and shapes you draw. When you reduce the number of points in a drawing, you reduce the amount of memory required to store the file.
- After you delete unnecessary points, you can use the Contour Editor to reshape your drawing objects.

Using the Contour Editor tool, you can transform a simple square into more complex and sleek forms that would have taken longer to draw by hand.

The Contour Editor tool allows you to create smoother curves because you are changing the curve of an existing line instead of drawing it manually.
