Place rectangle

#GRR

Obj-ID, DrawStyle-No, x, y, Anchor, Width, Height(=Width), Radius (0), FrameThickness(0), Angle(0)

The command places a rectangle with the Anchor and the Width at the position x, y. The appearance of the rectangle is determined with the DrawStyle (DrawStyle-No.). This is explained in more detail in the DrawStyle subsection. If no Height is specified, the height is set to the width (square). A Radius can optionally be specified. This rounds off the corners. It is also possible to determine a FrameThickness. Rotation around the anchor (Angle) can also be set.

Place regular polygon

#GGP

Obj-ID, DrawStyle-No, x, y, Anchor, Radius, Corners, FrameThickness(0), Angle(0)

The command places a regular polygon with the Anchor and the given number of Corners at the position x, y. With the DrawStyle the appearance of the n-corner is determined (DrawStyle-No.).
