# 5 Object types

Ipe supports six different types of geometric objects, namely path objects (which includes all objects with a stroked contour and filled interior, such as (poly)lines, polygons, splines, splinegons, circles and ellipses, circular and elliptic arcs, and rectangles), mark objects, text objects, image objects, group objects, and reference objects (which means that a template is reused at a certain spot).

Most objects are created by clicking the left mouse button somewhere on the canvas in the right Ipe mode. Group objects are created using the Group function on the Edit menu, and image objects can be added to the document using the Insert image ipelet.
