Drawing a Rectangle

Use the Rectangle object tool to draw a rectangle or square in one of two ways:

- Corner-to-corner, with the two vertices located at diagonally opposite corners of the rectangle
- Centre-to-corner, with the first vertex at the centre of the rectangle and the second at one corner

To draw a rectangle from corner-to-corner:

1. In the Graphics menu, click Add.
2. Select the Rectangle tool in the Object Tools window.
3. Press the cursor to anchor one corner of the rectangle. Do not release the cursor.
4. Drag the cursor diagonally. You can adjust the width and height of the rectangle as long as you hold down the cursor.
5. Release the cursor to anchor the second vertex.

   The rectangle is drawn on the image.

To draw a rectangle from centre-to-corner:

1. In the Graphics menu, click Add.
2. Select the Rectangle tool in the Object Tools window.
3. Press Alt.
4. Position the cursor where you want to place the centre of the rectangle and press down.
5. Drag diagonally, and release the cursor when the rectangle is the correct size.
