Drawing a Rectangle

To draw a rectangle, select the rectangle button from the configuration toolbox.

Step 1:  Place two corners of the rectangle on the page

When the Rectangle button is clicked, the arrow cursor will be replaced by a crosshair on the application page. This is a prompt for you to indicate where the rectangle is to be drawn.

Referring to the illustration below, the process is to pick two points on screen, which will create a rectangle.  To create a square, hold the shift key down after indicating the first corner point.  Otherwise, you can create a rectangle of arbitrary dimensions by picking points freely on the application page.

Step 2:  Set the rectangle’s style options

As soon as the rectangle has been placed on the screen, the VTS Graphic Editor will be displayed.  Simply selecting the box labeled "OK" will result in a rectangle of default color, line style and fill being created.

 

Please refer to Using the VTS Graphic Editor for instructions on using this dialog box.
