Understanding Shapes
Circles, ellipses, hexagons, rectangles, polygons, polylines, and gridlines form the core of advanced visual designs. Use these shapes to create elaborate graphics in mobile and desktop applications. Combine and manipulate these elements to produce elaborate designs. Select Shapes from the Components Panel, then drag and drop the selected shape into the Drawing area.
Definition
Shapes, such as circles, ellipses, hexagons, rectangles, polygons (including triangles), polylines, and gridlines, actively form the foundation of advanced visual designs and geometric figures.
Purpose
The Shapes aims to create symbols and advanced visuals in mobile and desktop applications.
Function
Use these elements to construct elaborate graphical designs.
Operation
Combining and manipulating these shapes achieves the desired visual outcomes.
Application
In mobile and desktop applications, use these shapes to create advanced graphic representations and symbols.
Usage
On the Components Panel, click the Shapes graphical elements group, select a shape, and then drag and drop it into the Drawing area.
Shapes
Circle
Plots a continuous curve equidistant from a central point. Creates a symbol of unity and continuity, often used in various graphical representations.
Ellipse
Plots an elongated circle, defined by two focal points. Creates shapes for illustrating orbits in astronomy or lenses in physics.
Hexagon
Plots a six-sided figure with equal-length sides and angles. Creates structures resembling honeycombs in nature and is used in tiling and mosaics.
Rectangle
Plots a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal. Creates a basis for numerous design and architectural elements, offering simplicity and symmetry.
Polygon
Plots a closed shape formed by joining multiple straight lines. Creates versatile geometric figures used in art, mapping, and computer graphics.
Polyline
Plots a series of connected line segments. Creates paths or outlines, commonly used in mapping, drawing, and digital illustrations.
Gridline
Plots parallel lines at regular intervals. Creates a framework for organizing data visually, aiding in design and layout processes.
