Polygon
-------
Same as the rectangle as regards fills and borders, but a
different sequence of mouse-clicks is required:
a) draw your shape. It will auto-close if your start and end
points do not coincide.
b) depress left mouse button, and hold it down.
c) depress right mouse button.
d) release left mouse button.
e) release right mouse button.
You now have the polygon shape, as a free-moving object. Position
it on the page, then click the left mouse button to set it into
the picture. You may impose as many copies as you wish, just
locate and left-click each time. Click the right mouse button when
you are finished.
Arc
---
The Line style will be as set. Left-click on the starting point,
left-click on the end point, and pull the middle to the required
curve. The seventh box on the Icon-bar gives the options for Arc:
a simple bezier-curve, a segment of a circle or elipse (a closed
shape, which may be filled with or without a border, as specified
in the Fills Icon-box), or a double-curve (ie. the control point
for the curve is effectively an angle-point between two curves).
Circle
------
As for Triangle.
Elipse
------
As for Triangle.
Horizontal Line
---------------
As for "Line", but always horizontal.
Vertical Line
-------------
As for "Line", but always vertical.
Parallel Lines
--------------
Draw a line, at any angle, and it becomes a free-moving object
which can be set into the picture with a left-click. This can be
repeated, thus giving parallel lines.
Continuous Line (Polyline)
--------------------------
A line which can have as many corners as you wish, all joined by
straight lines.
