Shape Input 6
There is one interface element for the input of geometric shapes. It can be a
blank area in which users can draw, or it can contain dotted lines to cue users
that the area accepts input. Figure 6-12 shows an example.
Shape-input areas have the following capabilities:
■ Recognition Automatically recognize geometric shapes such as
rectangles and other polygons, circles and ovals, and straight lines
and curves.
■ Gravity Automatically snap new line endpoints to nearby corners and
midpoints of existing shapes.
