Drawing a rectangle or square
Drawing rectangles is similar to drawing straight lines, except that you
use the Rectangle icon from the Drawing Toolbar. The (imaginary)
line drawn with the mouse corresponds to the diagonal of the
rectangle. In addition, the outline of the future rectangle changes
shape as you drag the mouse around. The outline is shown as a dashed
line until you release the mouse button, when the rectangle is drawn.
Figure 171: Drawing a rectangle
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 where the
two axes are the same length.) The ellipse drawn is the largest ellipse
that would fit inside the (imaginary) rectangle drawn with the mouse.
