Angular shape properties

All the properties of an angular shape are explained here.

Angular shape properties 1:

Shape definition

Closed Shape

If Closed Shape is selected, the last point is connected to the first point again.

Points

List of all points. (Notation: (x|y);(x|y))
For a better input of the points a Shape Point Editor can be opened:
Angular shape properties 2:

In the Dynamic area, variables can be defined for the individual points instead of fixed coordinates. Mixed operation is also possible.

Offset (X)

In the offset field a free offset can be added to the coordinates of the shape in the X-direction.

Scalefactor (X)

The points of the shape can be changed in the X-direction with the scale factor.

Offset (Y)

In the offset field a free offset can be added to the coordinates of the shape in the Y-direction.

Scalefactor (Y)

The points of the shape can be changed in the Y-direction with the scale factor.

Shape definition (dynamic)

Dynamic Offset (X)

Select a variable from the data pool or an interpreted channel for a dynamic change of the offset.

Dynamic Scalefactor (X)

Select a variable from the data pool or an interpreted channel for a dynamic change of the scaling factor.

Dynamic Offset (Y)

Select a variable from the data pool or an interpreted channel for a dynamic change of the offset.

Dynamic Scalefactor (Y)

Select a variable from the data pool or an interpreted channel for a dynamic change of the scaling factor.

Style

Fill Color

Color of the area content.

Line Width

Width of the edges in pixels.

Color

Color of the edge.

Fillmode

The fill area of the shape always starts at the first point. To obtain a correct fill area, the shape must be convex with respect to the starting point. This means that all other points of the shape are reached with a straight line without leaving the shape.
