Hold down the Shift key to draw a square. Hold down the Alt key to draw a rectangle

starting from its center. To combine the effects, hold down both the Shift and Alt keys

simultaneously.

Drawing a circle or ellipse

To draw an ellipse (also called an oval) or a circle, use the Ellipse icon from the

Drawing toolbar. (A circle is simply an ellipse with both axes the same length.) The

ellipse drawn is the largest ellipse that fits inside the (imaginary) rectangle drawn

with the mouse.

Figure 164: Drawing an ellipse

Here are some other ways to draw an ellipse or circle:

• To draw a circle, hold down the Shift key while dragging the mouse.

• To draw an ellipse with the starting point at the center (instead of the corner),

hold down the Alt key while dragging the mouse.

• To draw a circle with the starting point at the center, hold down both the Alt

and Shift keys while dragging the mouse.

• To draw an ellipse or circle that snaps to the nearest grid points, hold down

the Ctrl key while dragging the mouse.

Note

If you first press and hold down the Ctrl key and then click on one of the

icons for Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, or Text, a standard sized object is

drawn automatically in the work area; the size, shape, and color are all

standard values. These attributes can be changed later, if desired.

Drawing curves

The tools for drawing curves or polygons are on the toolbar that appears when you

click arrow next to the Curve icon on the Drawing toolbar. This toolbar contains

eight tools (Figure 165).

If you move the mouse cursor over one of the icons, a tooltip pops up with a

description of the function.

Note

Hovering the mouse pointer over this icon gives a tooltip of Curve. If

you convert the icon to a floating toolbar, however, the title is Lines, as

shown in Figure 165.
