For rounded rectangles, specifies the corner radius. For polygons, specifies the distance from the center of a polygon to the outer points.
Specifies the number of sides in a polygon.
Renders a polygon with smooth corners or indents.
Snaps edges of a rectangle or rounded rectangle to the pixel boundaries.
Constrains a rectangle or rounded rectangle to a square.
Lets you set the width and height of a rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, or custom shape by dragging.
Determines width, in pixels, for the Line tool.
To change stroke width for other shape tools, choose Layer > Layer Style > Stroke. (See Apply or edit a custom layer style.)
Edit shapes
A shape is a fill layer linked to a vector mask. You can easily change the fill to a different color, a gradient, or a pattern by editing the shape’s fill
layer. You can also edit the shape’s vector mask to modify the shape outline, and apply a style to the layer.
To change the color of a shape, double-click the shape layer’s thumbnail in the Layers panel, and choose a different color using the Color
Picker.
To fill a shape with a pattern or gradient, select the shape layer in the Layers panel and choose Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay.
To change stroke width, select the shape layer in the Layers panel, and choose Layer >Layer Style > Stroke.
To modify the outline of a shape, click the shape layer’s vector mask thumbnail in the Layers panel or Paths panel. Then change the shape
using the Direct Selection and pen tools.
To move a shape without changing its size or proportions, use the Move tool.
