Notes

Object2D is the base class for a group of subclasses that enable you to create vector (as opposed to bitmap) graphics. The subclasses are shown in the following table:

Class	Description
ArcShape	Draws an arc of a circle.
CurveShape	Draws straight lines or curves using one or more "control points."
FigureShape	Draws polygons that can (optionally) have curved sides.
OvalShape	Draws circles and ovals.
PixmapShape	Imports a bitmap picture into the image.
RectShape	Draws a square or rectangle.
RoundRectShape	Draws a square or rectangle with rounded corners (subclassed from RectShape).
StringShape	Draws text strings in a specified font, font size, and style.

These basic shapes can be organized into a hierarchy using the Group2D class.

The Picture class has a new property, Objects, that enables you to include a vector graphics drawing (a Group2D object) in a picture and the Graphics class has a new method, DrawObject, that enables you to draw a Group2D object within the Graphics object. Also, the SaveAsPicture method of the FolderItem class now has an optional parameter that enables you to save a vector graphics picture in a format that retains the vector information. The OpenAsVectorPicture method of the FolderItem class attempts to open an existing image as a vector graphic and map the contents of the image into Object2D drawing primitives.
