# Drawing a rectangle or square

You can draw a perfect rectangle or square.

To draw a rectangle or square

1. In the toolbox, click Rectangle to create a square-cornered shape, or click Rounded Rectangle to create a round-cornered shape.
2. Below the toolbox, click a fill style.
3. To draw a rectangle, drag the pointer diagonally in the direction you want.
4. To draw a square, hold down SHIFT while dragging the pointer.

Notes

- When you drag the pointer, the foreground color is used to draw the line surrounding the shape, and the background color is used to fill the shape. To use the background color to draw the line surrounding the shape and the foreground color to fill the shape, hold down the right mouse button and drag the pointer.
