You can use this dialog to round the corners of the usual Draw objects—text boxes,

legends, rectangles, and squares, as shown in Figure 48. The same effect can be

achieved when you are in the points mode (click the Points icon on the Drawing

toolbar), by dragging the large handle with the mouse. The larger the value for the

corner radius, the rounder the object becomes.

Slant

You can shear both the older, classic Draw objects and the newer Shape objects.

Enter the slant angle in the box marked Slant Angle.

Editing object points

For polygons and Bézier curves, Draw offers a complete set of tools that let you

accurately edit the contour of an object. To edit other objects in the same way, you

must first convert them into curves. To do this, select the object, then right-click and

choose Convert > To Curve or choose Modify > Convert > To Curve from the

menu bar.

You can also convert the shapes to a polygon (Convert > To Polygon). With

polygons, the edge points are always connected with straight lines and not with

curves. Some of the techniques described work equally with polygons as with curves.

Another way to change the form of basic shapes

In current versions of Draw, many of the new shapes can be directly edited without

having to convert them to curves first. You can recognize these objects by the

presence of one or more circular yellow handles as shown in Figure 50.
