Polygons
With the polygon panel
tool you can create a polygon composed of 3 to 18 sides. Choose the
Rounded Rectangle panel tool from Tool palette to create the area
within a document to be occupied by a new panel. This is called
"growing a panel box." Click the Panel tool at the corner of the
area you want to select, and drag diagonally across the area to
form a box. When you let go of the mouse button, the Panel appears
occupying the area you defined.
If you hold down the mouse while clicking on the polygon tool
you'll see a palette of the 15 starting shapes plus the Custom
button that brings up the Polygon Designer. You can choose one of
these and use it as your starting point for your Panel
object.
Note: When growing
a panel box, if you hold down the shift key, the box will be
constrained to a square so your polygon object will be
proportional. |
