Using Shapes

The Content Designer allows you to add and customize vector shapes on the stage.

Adding a Shape

1. Click the + icon in the left panel or right-click on the stage
2. Select Shape from the object menu
3. A default square shape appears on the stage

Shape Types

All shapes start as a square. You can transform them into different forms:

Shape	How to Create
Square	Default shape — no changes needed
Rectangle	Drag the side handles to stretch horizontally or vertically
Rounded rectangle	Set a corner radius in the Properties panel
Circle	Set a large enough corner radius to turn the square into a circle

Customizing Shapes

Use the Properties panel on the right side to configure:

• Size — Width and height in pixels
• Position — X and Y coordinates on the stage
• Corner radius — Adjust for rounded corners or to create circles
• Color — Fill color of the shape
• Rotation — Rotate the shape to any angle

Use Cases

Shapes are useful for:

• Creating colored backgrounds or overlays
• Adding visual separators between content areas
• Building simple graphic elements without external tools
• Creating colored bars or banners behind text
