Drawing Shapes
Two of the most fundamental and common operations you perform on shapes are drawing and its complement, hit-testing (interpreting mouse clicks or otherwise relating coordinate position to shape geometry).You can draw a shape as soon as you have created it and set its properties (and those of its related objects). The view ports listed in the transform object associated with the shape determine where the drawn shape appears. Drawing takes into account all the information in the shape's transform, ink, style, and shape objects. This chapter describes the basic drawing function that can draw any kind of shape. See "Drawing Shapes" beginning on page 2-35 for more description and an example of drawing.
