Working
With Primitives
(Predefined Shapes) |
|
|
|

|

|
To facilitate faster construction, Deneba Canvas™,
Adobe® Illustrator®, CorelDRAW and Macromedia® FreeHand® include
a set of predefined object shapes or "primitives":
1. Rectangle
(including square)
2. Ellipse (including circle)
3. Polygon (including star)
4. Spiral |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The user can control the number of sides to polygons and
stars.
All the predefined shapes can be converted to editable paths
with access to the anchor points. Each program handles this
slightly differently, though:
In CorelDRAW the object must first be converted to curves.
In Macromedia FreeHand squares, rectangles, circles, ellipses
and spirals must first be ungrouped while polygons and stars
are editable by default.
In Adobe Illustrator, all objects are editable by default:
In Deneba Canvas, objects are editable by default except for
polygons, stars and spirals which must be converted to paths.
