help_details

When you have a shape selected under the edit menu you can select "View Details" which will show you a panel with information about the selected shape. The contents of these panels differs depending on the type of shape.

Polygon and Polyline:
At the top is a list of all the points in the shape. Each of these shapes can have its x and y value changed. Under the list is a Add Point At End button which will add a point at the end of the list. The Add Point After button allows you to add a point in the middle of the list of points. The Delete Point Number button will delete the specified point (the number is shown next to the coordinates in the lists).

Rectangle and Oval:
At the top is a First Corner point, which is the location of one corner. Then under that are the length on the x and y axis.

Line:
There are two points which are the two points that the line connects.

Text:
For text there is a bottom left corner, which is the point on the bottom left corner where the text is drawn from. Next is the Text option which the the text drawn. Then in the Set Font button which opens a panel where you can specify the font used to draw the text.

All of the shapes then have a Border Color option which allows you to select the border color (or for the text the entire color).

Polygon, Rectangle, and Oval:
These shapes will then have a check box Filled which specifies whether or not the shape is filled and next to that you can specify the fill color.

Then all the shapes have a set of buttons allowing you to move the shape forward of backward through the layers, which changes the order the shapes are drawn on top of each other.

Lastly, for all shapes except text, is a Export Shape option allowing you to export the shape so that it can later be imported and used many times.
