Understanding rounded, scalloped, and chamfered corners
Rounding produces a curved corner, scalloping replaces the corner with an edge that has a curved notch, and chamfering replaces the
corner with a straight edge, also known as a bevel.
From left to right, you can see standard corners with no changes, rounded corners, scalloped corners, and chamfered corners.
To draw rectangles or squares with rounded, scalloped, or chamfered corners, you need to specify the corner size. For rounding or scalloping
a corner, the corner size determines the corner radius. The radius is measured from the curve’s center to its perimeter. Higher corner size
values produce more rounded corners or deep scalloped corners.
From left to right, you can see the radius of a rounded corner and the radius of a scalloped corner.
The size value for chamfering a corner represents the distance to set where the chamfer will begin in relation to the original corner. Higher
corner size values produce a longer chamfered edge.
For more information about modifying the corners of curve objects, such as lines, text, or bitmaps, see “Filleting, scalloping, and chamfering
corners ” on page 187.
