Drawing Basic Shapes
Drawing a rectangle
Drawing rectangles is similar to drawing straight line segments, except that you use the
Rectangle button from the Main Toolbar.
The line drawn with the mouse shows the diagonal of the rectangle.
If you hold the [Shift] key, you will get a square and the [Alt] key enables you to draw a
rectangle starting from its center.
Drawing a circle
To draw an ellipse or a circle, use the Ellipse button from the Main Toolbar.
The ellipse or circle is defined by a rectangle that is linked to the diagonal drawn with the
mouse. The diameter of the ellipse or circle corresponds to the longest side of the rectangle.
Extended functions shown by long-clicking the Ellipse button include circles, ellipses, ellipse
and circle pies, segments, arcs, filled and non-filled closed shapes.
