Overview of circles, lines, and rectangles    

The drawing objects in the Object Library palette provide you with a way to enhance forms graphically.

•	Using the Circle object, you can draw circular, elliptical, or arc shapes anywhere on the page.

•	Using the Line object, you can draw solid, dashed, or dotted lines anywhere on the page.

•	Using the Rectangle object, you can draw rectangles that have 90° or rounded corners. Use rectangles to graphically frame an area of the form or provide a rectangular area as a background for other objects.

After you add a drawing object to the form design, you can manipulate the object’s properties in the Draw tab of the Object palette. You can define these properties:

•	Change the line style.

•	Change the thickness of the line.

•	Select a line color.

•	Specify the shape of the circle.

•	Specify the start and end points of an arc.

•	Fill the circle or rectangle with color or a pattern.

•	Change the slope of the line.

•	Change the corners of the rectangle.

•	Make the object visible, invisible, or hidden.

•	Define the object as visible, invisible, or hidden. See To make an object visible, invisible, or hidden.
