Geometric shapes include basic shapes, symbol shapes, block arrows, flowcharts, callouts, and stars.
The figure below shows part of the Drawing toolbar with the icons necessary for the following sections. They open floating toolbars with the relevant work tools. The use of all these tools is similar to that of the Rectangle tool, even though they produce different geometric shapes.
Basic shapes
The Basic Shapes icon File:BasicShapesIcon.png makes available the range of tools for drawing basic shapes.
If you choose the rectangle tool from this toolbar, it looks the same as a rectangle drawn using the Rectangle tool on the Drawing toolbar. The only differences you will see are in the information field in the status bar.
Symbol shapes
The Symbol Shapes icon File:SymbolsIcon.png brings you to an array of tools for drawing the various symbol shapes.
Block arrows
The Block Arrows icon File:BlockArrowsIcon.png opens the Block Arrows toolbar .
Flowcharts
The tools for drawing flowcharts are accessed by clicking on the Flowcharts icon File:FlowchartIcon.png.
The creation of flowcharts, organization charts, and similar planning tools are described in Chapter 9 (Organization Charts, Flow Diagrams, and More) in the Draw Guide.
Callouts
With the Callouts icon File:CalloutsIcon.png, you can open the Callouts toolbar.
Stars and banners
These tools are associated with the Stars icon File:StarsIcon.png.
You can add text to all these shapes. See Chapter 2 (Drawing Basic Shapes) and Chapter 10 (Advanced Draw Techniques) in the Draw Guide for details.
