Resizing Shapes

Notice that the rectangle has ‘handles’ (small solid bars)around it. These allow the rectangle to be resized. The blue‘handles’ at the corners allow for diagonal resizing. Theblue ‘handles’ at the centre of the lines allow for either verticalor horizontal resizing.The green ‘handle’ allows you to rotate the shape.

 

Move the pointer over the bottom rightcorner ‘handle’ until the pointer changesto a diagonal line with arrows at each endthen drag the corner ‘handle’ towards thecentre of the rectangle to reduce its size.
