In a Smode Compo Icon Compo , you can create a type of layer called a ShapeLayer Icon Shape layer to draw shapes based on bezier points.

Every ShapeLayer Icon Shape layer has a ShapeGenerator Icon Shape Generator , which defines what shape it is and its attributes, and a renderer to define how it is drawn, specifically the fill which is the inside, and the stroke which is the outline:
