iWeb has a menu of shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles, arrows, and so on) that you can add to your webpages. Special controls let you modify some shapes in specific ways. For example, you can add points to a star.
To add a shape:
You can use shapes as text boxes or as graphic elements on your page.
Select the page to which you want to add the shape by clicking it in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.
Make sure nothing is selected on the page before you add the shape.
Choose a shape from the Shapes pop-up menu in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.
The shape appears on your page, with selection handles.
Select the shape and drag it to where you want it to appear on the page; drag the handles to resize it.
To add a shape you can wrap text around:
If you want text to flow around the shape, add an inline shape in a text box. Click this link to learn how:
To modify a shape’s form:
Some shapes have additional controls for modifying their form. Click a shape to make the controls appear:
Rounded rectangle: Drag the circular control to the left to straighten the corners; drag to the right to curve them.
Arrows: Use the three special controls to increase or decrease the tail’s length and width without changing the shape of the arrowhead. Drag the circular control to change the width of the tail. Drag the left and right handles to change the tail length.
Star: Drag the slider that appears when you select the star to increase or decrease the number of points in the star.
Polygon: Drag the slider to increase or decrease the number of sides in the polygon.
