"To create a polygon: 1. Choose Create from the Edit menu. 2. Choose Polygons from the Create submenu. The following dialog box appears: When you create a polygon, you can specify the number of sides and the object's horizontal radius and vertical radius in points. The radii for a polygon represent the horizontal and vertical radii of an ellipse in which the polygon can be inscribed. 3. Enter the number of sides you would like your polygon to have and the radius (half the distance across) measured in points (72 pts. in an inch). S Number of Polygon Sides. The default is 5 sides. S Polygon Radius. Select the polygon's horizontal radius and vertical radius. The default is 100 (about 1.4 inches); the minimum size is 1 point (1/72 of an inch), and the maximum size is 576 points (8 inches). 4. Click on Create Polygon. Drawing places the polygon in the drawing area. 5. Click on Close. The dialog box disappears. "To create a star: 1. Choose Create from the Edit menu. 2. Choose Stars from the Create submenu. A dialog box appears: The outer radius is measured from point to point. The inner radius is the center section of the star. Remember that radius is the distance from the center to the edge. 3. Enter the number of points you would like your star to have and the radius (half the distance across) measured in points (72 pts. in an inch). S Number of Star Points. Select the number of points you want your star to have. The default is 5 points; the maximum number is 100. Star points are the points of the star, not the point increments of measure that you use to specify width and height. S Outer Radius. The outer radii of the star represent the radii of an ellipse that touches each of the star's points. The star's horizontal radius (left box) and vertical radius (right box) are measured in point increments. The default is 100 (about 1.4 inches); the minimum size is 1 point (1/72 of an inch), and the maximum size is 288 points (4 inches). Drawing 214
