Drawing Lines and Shapes

  The bottom half of the tool palette contains a collection of line
  and shape tools that you use in a similar way.  Whenever you
  draw a straight line or a shape, the point where you press
  MB1 becomes the tool's reference point.

  You can stretch and swing the line or shape from the
  reference point by dragging the pointer.  When the shape
  is correct, anchor it in place by releasing MB1.

  For example, to draw a rectangle:

  1.  Click on the rectangle tool.

  2.  Point to where you want one corner of the rectangle to
      be.  Press MB1 and drag diagonally across the drawing
      surface until the rectangle has the width and height you
      want.

  3.  To anchor the shape, release MB1.
