− | Let us unselect this shape now.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | To do so, click anywhere in the canvas area or outside the canvas boundary.
| + | |
− | Point to the rectangle tool in the Tool box
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | Click on it
| + | |
− | Let me move the mouse back to the Tool box and over the same rectangle tool.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The tool tip says that we can draw rectangles and squares using this tool.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | So, first let me click on this tool.
| + | |
− | Hold on ctrl key >> draw a square >> move to color palette >> change color to pink
| + | |
− | To draw a square, simply hold the Ctrl key and drag on the canvas.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Let me change its color to pink.
| + | |
− | Assignment (Slide)
| + | |
− | An assignment for you.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | 1. Select the Create circles and ellipses tool from the Tool box.
| + | |
− | 2. Use the Ctrl key, draw a circle on the canvas.
| + | |
− | 3. Color it blue.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Pointing to the circle
| + | |
− | This is my circle.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Now let us learn how to modify this circle.
| + | |
− | Point to Start and End parameters
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Point to 3 icons on the
| + | |
− | Tool controls bar
| + | |
− | You can change the start and the end parameters to alter the shape of the circle to an arc or a segment.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | There are 3 options here on the Tool controls bar, which helps to switch between the shapes.
| + | |
− | Change the Start parameter to 100 and End parameter to -50
| + | |
− | Let me change the Start parameter to 100 and End parameter to -50.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We see that the circle shape has now changed to a segment shape.
| + | |
− | Switch to arc icon
| + | |
− | Now I will click on arc icon and we see the change in the shape.
| + | |
− | Click on the circle icon
| + | |
− | We can change back to circle shape again, by clicking on the circle icon.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Now, let's take a closer look at the circle shape on our canvas.
| + | |
− | Point to the 2 square handles and 2 circular handles
| + | |
− | Notice 2 square handles and 2 circular handles called arc handles, on the shape.
| + | |
− | Drag these handles in the up-down or left-right directions
| + | |
− | The 2 square handles can be used to alter the shape of the circle to an ellipse shape.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Just drag these handles in the up-down or left-right directions.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Observe the change in the shape.
| + | |
− | Click on the arc handle and move it anti-clockwise.
| + | |
− | Pointing to the 2 arc handles
| + | |
− | The 2 arc handles overlap each other. Click on the arc handle and move it anti-clockwise.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We can now see both the arc handles.
| + | |
− | Move the arc handles in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions
| + | |
− | We can modify the circle shape into arc or segment shape using these arc handles.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Just by moving them in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions and observe the change in the shape.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <<PAUSE>>
| + | |
− | Click on the rectangle tool in the Tool box and then click on the rectangle.
| + | |
− | Now, we will click on the rectangle tool in the Tool box and then click on the square.
| + | |
− | Point to the 2 resize handles and 2 arc handles
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Click on the arc handle and move it anti-clockwise.
| + | |
− | Notice 2 resize handles and 2 arc handles on the top right corner of the shape.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | As before, the 2 arc handles overlap each other.
| + | |
− | Click on one of the arc handle and move it clockwise.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Now, we can see both the arc handles.
| + | |
− | Move the arc handles in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions
| + | |
− | We can give rounded edges to the square using these handles.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Move them in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions and observe the change in the shape.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <<PAUSE>>
| + | |
− | Click on Stars and Polygons tools on the Tool box
| + | |
− | Now, let us create a polygon by clicking on the Stars and polygons tool from the Tool box.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | This is right below the circle tool. So, click on it.
| + | |
− | Draw a polygon >> move to color palette >> change color to green
| + | |
− | We will draw a polygon in a similar way and change the color to green.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | By default, a 5-sided polygon i.e. a pentagon, is drawn.
| + | |
− | Point to the number of corners on the Tool controls bar
| + | |
− | Look at the Tool controls bar. Here, it says the number of corners of the polygon is 5.
| + | |
− | Decrease the number to 4, 3 >> increase the number to 5, 6
| + | |
− | You can create a square by decreasing the number to 4 and a triangle by decreasing it to 3.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | By increasing it, we can create a pentagon, hexagon and so on.
| + | |
− | Point to resize handle on the polygon
| + | |
− | Notice a resize handle on the polygon.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We can use it to resize or rotate the polygon.
| + | |
− | <PAUSE>
| + | |
− | Click on the star icon
| + | |
− | Convert this shape into a star shape, by clicking on the star icon next to polygon icon, in the Tool controls bar.
| + | |
− | Point to the 2 handles on the star shape
| + | |
− | Notice 2 handles on the star shape – one at the tip and one at the joint.
| + | |
− | Click and drag the tip handle to resize and rotate
| + | |
− | Click and drag the handle at the tip of the star to resize or rotate it.
| + | |
− | Click on it and move in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions >> skew the shape
| + | |
− | We can resize and skew the shape of the star using the other handle.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Click on it and move in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions and observe the change in the shape and size.
| + | |
− | <<PAUSE>>
