Description: This module provides a tool which allows you to create regular n-sided polygons and stars. At any time, you can simply change the position, the radius or the number of sides of any polygon object. By a single mouse-click you can also turn a polygon into a star and vice versa. This tool was inspired by CorelXARA's QuickShape tool. Quick feature list: * creation of regular n-sided polygons and stars (n in [3..49]) * numeric and interactive editing facilities for polygons and stars: change radius, number of sides, angle etc. at any time, turn polygons into stars and vice versa * full integration with existing ArtWorks features (fill types, transformation tools, Make shapes etc.), i.e. polygon objects behave exactly like other ArtWorks shapes (ellipses, rectangles, rounded rectangles) * full support of ArtWorks undo system and EPS export and import
