The first experience of Fireworks MX2004 's shapes (two

2, circular related tools
(1) Doughnut Tool (ring tool)
When you select the tool for the Toolbox and draw on the edit area, you see a graphic like the following figure:

After processing, we can also see the relevant prompt box for the three control points after the graphic is selected:
A, the top control point function can be said to be the largest, click the control point and then in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to drag the control point, there will be the effect of the ring cut separation, as shown in the following figure:

If you work with the ALT key on your keyboard and then drag, the cutting line will appear at different angles, as shown below:
Please note: This step is reversible, if you are not satisfied with the position of the cutting line, you can still select the adjustment point to adjust the angle, even you can drag the adjustment point to the previous adjustment point so that two adjustment points will naturally coincide. Of course, these operations do not need to match the ALT key on the keyboard. Please test it yourself!

Oh, what is the use of it? Now select the Super Selection tool for the toolbox to select any one sector for color adjustment. If you want to adjust carefully, you can execute the menu command "modify--ungroup (shortcut key is Ctrl+shift+g)" can be the above graphics to break up, the original ring has been those segments have been cut into a different sector.

b, in the middle of the point Adjustment point, click the mouse, the circle will become a circle. If you select the adjustment point, you can adjust the center size of the ring by dragging the mouse directly inward or outward!
C, the central right adjustment point is also used to adjust the size of the circle inside the circle, do not introduce another.
(2) Pie Toll (pie chart drawing tool)
This tool and the ring tool above are actually repeated again, because through our actual operation will find that we just adjust the ring tool to draw the center of the ring adjustment point can adjust the circle circle, and the operation of the pie-shaped drawing tool and the edge adjustment point of the ring is basically the same, please test yourselves!
3, polygon, star-shaped related tools
(1) Smart Polygon (positive polygon) tool
A, select the tool from the Toolbox, click the mouse in the edit area to appear a polygon, by default, a positive 7-side shape appears. You can see that there are 4 adjustment control points on the drawing object, please see the marked picture below:

B, number 1th points:
With the mouse to select the control point, a background balloon appears: scale/rotate (zoom/rotate). It is obvious that you can resize a positive polygon by dragging it and rotate the drawing object.
Point 2nd: Select the point, the background will appear: Sections:7 (section: 7). Do not release the mouse, drag down the mouse, what has changed? On the one hand, the value of the sections has changed-reduced, on the other hand, the polygon section is reduced correspondingly, the effect is shown in the following figure:

Drag the mouse up, the value of the sections will increase, and the section of the polygon will also increase.
Point 3rd: Select the point will appear prompt box: Inner Polygon (internal polygon). What happens when you drag the mouse in the edge direction? Inside also appeared a polygon, and added a reset Inner Polygon (restore original) control point, the specific operation and the above described the operation of the ring is basically similar! Please feel it yourself. Change effect please look at the following figure:

Number 4th: Select the point, the Prompt box appears: sides:7; Alt/opt-drag to split (number of edges: 7; With alt/opt drag to split) This control point is also more interesting, select the point and then drag up the mouse, what has changed? And number 3rd is the opposite, drag up the result is to increase the number of polygons, as long as the mouse does not stop, it will continue to increase, on the contrary, drag down the mouse, will reduce the number of polygons edge. If you match the ALT key on the keyboard, click the mouse, or drag the mouse in any direction up or down, and then choose the Toolbox's Super Selection tool, click the mouse, and you'll see that the polygon has been evenly divided. Similarly, the Execute menu command "modify--ungroup (Modify-break Group)" command, you will find the split polygon to get the various small polygons. As shown in the following illustration:

(2) Star (Star) tool
Star Tools If you can study it well, I believe you will do a lot of good results, and then I will use a special tutorial to introduce through the Star tool to adjust the object to form a variety of effects. Here we only make a simple introduction to the Star tool.
A, select the tool from the Toolbox, click the mouse in the editing area to appear a pentagram, you can see the Graphics object has 5 control points, please see the following processing of the marked Picture:

b, point 1th and Point 2nd there are no prompt boxes when the mouse is moved or clicked, you can select these two adjustment points, drag the mouse up or down, to adjust the shape of the Star object; Point 3rd and 4th when the mouse is over or click the Prompt box: roundness, You can adjust the appearance of a star object by adjusting to the left or right direction or up and down. Try it yourself, or focus on the following series of tutorials; the cue box at number 5th appears as: Points:5, likewise, by increasing the number of star-shaped objects by the way up, reduce the number of corners. Through our adjustment, we can make a lot of beautiful effects, please see the following figure:

The production techniques of related graphics will be described in detail in the following tutorial.
(3) L-shape (L shape) Drawing tool
The tool is simpler to use and the control points are adjusted to refer to the adjustment method of the Arrow shape.
4, linear related tools
(1) Connector Line (polyline)
Select the tool from the toolbox, and then drag the mouse to draw in the editing area, and the graphic shown in the following figure appears.

As we know from the above picture, this drawing object has 5 adjustment points, the upper left control point and the lower right control point can be adjusted up and down, in any direction of drag adjustment, so that the folded line shape adjustment; the control points on the right and lower left sides of the upper side are dragged horizontally to change the rounded corners of the polyline connection. Center control point can be selected with the mouse to drag left and right, so as to change the left and right symmetry of the polyline, if you click the control point, you can fold the object to achieve a counter-clockwise 90-degree rotation. Of course, we can adjust the contents of the fill (fill) and its stroke (stroke) of the folded line object, and the following illustration is the drawing object for the adjustments:

(2) Spiral (Helix)
In a long time ago, many people to achieve the effect of the spiral to find ways, now do not need, because directly through the Spiral graphics tool can easily achieve the effect of the spiral, directly select the Toolbox Spiral tool, in the editing area to draw, the following effect map (stroke using a virtual line drawing edge):

As you can see from the above figure, there are two adjustment points of the helix figure, the left side is needless to say, it must be adjusted to the layer number of the helix, check the control point, up and down drag the mouse! Sure enough, the number of layers of the spiral has increased and decreased, and the center control point is used to keep the spiral closed or open, and only by clicking the mouse can a closed, open change be made, easily ... Well, the graphics are simple, but practical to see what happens:

Well, the toolbox of shape drawing tools to say so much, the mystery of which there must be many, we all need to explore together! Next we will give a detailed explanation to the Shaps shape panel, please pay attention!
