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.

Figure 164: Drawing an ellipse

There are three other ways to draw an ellipse or circle:

• Hold down the

Shift

key while drawing to force the ellipse to be a

circle.

• Hold down the

Alt

key to draw a symmetrical ellipse or circle

from the center instead of dragging corner to corner.

• Hold down the

Control

key while drawing to snap the ellipse or

circle to grid lines.

Note

If you first press and hold the

Control

key and then click on one

of the icons (Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, or Text), an 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 the Curve icon on the Drawing toolbar.

This toolbar contains eight tools (Figure 165).

Note

Hovering the mouse 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.
