Since the autoshape tool creates standard shapes, rectangle etc., those shapes are edited by their type. However the Autoshape tool also creates three additional types: Polyline, Curve, Star (5 pointed).
Autoshapes (line, polyline, curve, ellipse, circle, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, star, autocloud, right-angled, equilateral and isosceles triangles)
Ellipse
If ellipse' radiuses are nearly equal, then it is drawn a circle
LineCircle
A circle is drawn If the shape approximates a circle and the radiii are nearly equal.
Ellipse
A circle is drawn If the shape approximates a circle and the radiii are not equal.
Line
A line is drawn If the shape approximates a line.
Polyline
If end points are located nearbynear to each other, the polyline is will be closed.
If the angle between the nearest two consecutive line segments can be approximated to are approximately 90 degrees, a right angle is made. The angles are approximated, when polygon points are moved.
Closed created.
A closed polyline with 3 points - will result in a triangle - can It can be a right-angledtriangle, equilateral and or isosceles. Closed
A closed polyline with 4 points can be recognized as rectanglea rectangle, square, parallelogram, trapezoidor trapezoid.
If the end point of parallel side in a any quadrangle is moved along a parallel lines, the property of parallelism is being keptwill be retained.
Right angles in quadrangle are adjusted as wellwill also adjust automatically.
Another form of polyline - star. At the input regular star is automatically generated, later it can be made irregular. Star can be edited by moving end points or inner/outer radius points.
Curved line is approximated by If the Polyline approximates a regular star a star polyline will be created. An additional set of controls are provided that allow the inner radii to be adjusted.
A curved will generate a spline, it can be closed and unclosed
Autocloud is created when closed curved line can be approximated with a cloud markup
or open.
If a loopy or bumpy curve is drawn a cloud will be generated.
