              •  Drag the handle in the center of the shape.
              •  Or use the arrow keys on the keyboard.
              •  Or select CENTER in the EDITABLE ITEMS menu. Type the required X/Y values into the
                text boxes.





               Apply or remove rounded corners by clicking the ROUND CORNERS button.


               Change the polygon to an ellipse by clicking the CREATE ELLIPSE button or
               double clicking the polygon's center.

               Make a polygon star-shaped by clicking the STARRED SHAPES button. Or by
               double clicking on a side.

              Drag the sides to make them curved. Move the pointer over the edge of the polygon (it
              changes to an arrow shape). You can now drag the sides.

                                            On the left are the original polygons. Just drag on
                                            the sides to create curved sides.

              "Ctrl + double click" on a side, or click the RESTORE EDGES button to make the sides
              straight again.







               Change the number of sides by typing the number into the menu or
               selecting from it.
