Rounded Rectangle Panels With the
rounded rectangle tool you can create panels with a variety of
rounded corners including inverted rounded corners. Using these
panels is great for creating web buttons and backdrops. Choose the
Rounded Rectangle panel tool from Tool palette to create the area
within a document to be occupied by a new panel. This is called
"growing a panel box." Click the Panel tool at the corner of the
area you want to select, and drag diagonally across the area to
form a box. When you let go of the mouse button, the Panel appears
occupying the area you defined. If you hold down the mouse while clicking on the Rounded Rectangle tool you'll see a palette of the 15 starting shapes plus the Custom button that brings up the Rounded Rectangle Designer. You can choose one of these and use it as your starting point for your Panel object. Note: When growing a panel box, if you hold down the shift key, the box will be constrained to a square. |
