Adding an Ellipse

To add an Ellipse to the graphics pane:

1. Select Ellipse from the Drawing Toolbar or the main menu under Graphics|Insert.

2. Place the cursor at the location in the graphics pane where you want one of the corners of a rectangle surrounding the ellipse to be.

3. Left-click and drag the line to the location of the opposite corner of the rectangle.

You can move an ellipse by selecting it and dragging it around the graphics pane. You can "stretch" an ellipse by selecting the object and dragging one of the "handles" (there are eight handles - one on each corner and one on each side). Pressing the Shft key while resizing the object keeps the same aspect ratio; pressing the Ctrl key while resizing keeps the center of the object at the same location.

You can rotate an ellipse by selecting the object and choosing Graphics|Rotate from the main menu.
