Vector form of the backdrop is always recalculated for any scaling or rotating or
repositioning in the Primitive Shape, Border 1, Border 2, Border 3, Shape Fill and Shadow
parameter groups.
The Shape Primitive menu sets the shape of the backdrop. The choices are Rectangle and
Oval.
Working with the Primitive Shape Parameter Group
The parameters in the Primitive Shape parameter group allow you to adjust the size and
shape of the backdrop.
Working with the Rectangle
When the Shape Primitive menu is set to Rectangle, Shape Left, Shape Top, Shape Right,
and Shape Bottom control the positions of the corners of the rectangle. These values are
scaled as percentages of the width and height of the Project size.
Corner Size adjusts the size of the rectangle’s corners.
Corner Size=0 Corner Size=25 Corner Size=50
The Corner Type menu sets the shape of the rectangle’s corners.
• Convex produces corners that curve inward.
• Concave produces corners that curve outward.
• Straight produces corners that are straight lines.
