You can also use the ellipse toolbar at the top of the Designer to change the width and the height as well as the X and Y axes.
When an ellipse is selected, use the width and height handles to alter the shape. Hold down Ctrl to make it a perfect circle, and the Shift key to make it grow from the center point. While it is the active tool, you can click and drag inside a window to create a new ellipse. It is used in much the same way as the rectangle tool. The Circle tool creates and edits circles and ellipses.
Hold down Ctrl to drag each rounding handle independently if you want non-symmetric corner rounding. You can use the Make Straight button in the rectangle's toolbar ( ) to return a rounded rectangle to be a standard, straight-corner rectangle. There are also small circle handles on the rectangle that allow you to alter the rectangle's corner rounding radius. Simply drag the circle down the side of the selected rectangle to make it a rounded rectangle. From the toolbar, you can also change the rectangle's location (in pixels) on the window using the X and Y axes. If you double-click on the rectangle so the tool is active, you can change the rectangle's width and height using the tool-specific handles. If you resize a non-orthogonally rotated rectangle using the Selection tool, it will skew and become a parallelogram. This is important because it is the only way to resize a rotated rectangle and let it remain a rectangle. Once a rectangle is created, you can use the square handles to change the rectangle's height and width. Hold down Ctrl to make it a perfect square, and the Shift key to make it grow from the center point. To create a rectangle, select the tool and then click and drag inside a window to create a new rectangle. The Rectangle tool creates and edits rectangle shapes. For more on using the Selection tool to manipulate components and shapes, see Manipulating Components. Selected components can be moved, resized, and rotated. When this tool is active, you can select shapes and components. All shapes can be treated as paths and be used with composite geometry functions to alter or create other shapes. After a shape is created, you can change its Fill Paint color, Stroke color, and Stroke Style properties.
When you create a shape it has a default Fill Paint color of white. Some, like the selection tool simply allow you to select different components, while others like the rectangle tool allow you to create shapes. There are multiple drawing tools that each fulfill a different purpose. When a drawing tool is active, a toolbar will appear in the top menubar that has specific settings and actions for that tool. Once you draw a graphic, and want to drag a different graphic tool on to your window, click on the Selection tool. Click on the tool's icon to make it the active tool, then click in the Designer and drag to place the tool in your workspace. Below the Selection tool are all the tools that draw graphics. You can use the Selection tool to change the component's size and position as well as to configure the component. At the very top of the toolbar is a Selection tool that allows you to select various components on a window. Using Drawing Toolsīy default, the drawing toolbar is always located on the right side, but you can drag it to anywhere on your window that you prefer. All SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images are importable in Vision and are made up of these basic shapes. These shapes are components with their own set of properties. Shapes or graphics such as lines, rectangles, and circles can be created using the 2D drawing tools in Vision. Using the drawing tools you can create your own shapes such as lines, rectangles, and circles. Vision comes with its own set of drawing tools so you can draw your own vector graphics on a window.
