Create an Ellipse Shape
An ellipse is a round or oval shape that can be either empty or filled.
To create an ellipse
1. Open your frame in the Frame Editor (see Open an Existing Frame).
2. Select the Ellipse icon on the field palette.
3. Draw the boundary for the ellipse shape on the form.
Note:  To create a circle instead of an oval, hold down the Shift key while drawing the boundary for the ellipse.
Leave the ellipse selected on the form.
4. Set the properties for the ellipse shape, including LineColor, LineStyle, LineWidth, BgColor, and BgPattern.
For complete descriptions of each field property, see Common Field Properties.
