Drag the pointer to draw a rectangle with corners of
the currently specified radius.
■
Circle or Oval
The point where you start dragging is considered a
corner of an imaginary rectangle around the oval.
The point where you release the mouse button is the
diagonally opposite point of the rectangle. The oval
will fit inside this imaginary rectangle (its greater
axis is along the longer edge of the rectangle, and
its smaller axis is along the smaller edge).
■
Arc , Arc & String or Fan
1.
Proceed as you would to draw a circle or an
oval.
→ A radial line appears on the oval when the
mouse button is released.
2.
Move the pointer to the start point of the arc,
and then click.
→ The radial line disappears.
3.
Move the pointer until the arc/arc & string/fan
has the desired shape, and then click.
