<h2>Shape Tools</h2>
<p>The following tools are similar, and will be discussed in this topic:</p>
<ul>
<li class="nobullet"><img border="0" src="Images/ShapeTools.png"><br>
</li>
<li>Rectangle</li>
<li>Rounded Rectangle</li>
<li>Ellipse</li>
<li>Freeform Shape</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these tools may be configured using the
<a href="Toolbar.html#DrawingControls">controls in the Toolbar</a>. To draw
a shape, click and drag with the left mouse button. The primary color will
be used for the outline (if applicable), and the secondary color will be
used to fill the interior of the shape (if applicable). If you draw with the
right mouse button, the roles of the primary and secondary colors will be
reversed.</p>
<p>For the first three tools, you may hold down the Shift key to constrain
the shape to be a square, rounded square, or a circle, respectively.</p>
<p>The following images show how shapes look when the appropriate
shape-drawing option in the toolbar is selected:</p>
<h3>Outline only:</h3>
